News: Drone Strike Heightens Supply Fears
Crude oil prices witnessed a surge on Monday due to increased tensions in the Middle East. A drone attack targeting U.S. forces in Jordan, believed to be orchestrated by Houthi rebels, has raised concerns over potential disruptions in oil supply. This situation is compounded by repeated assaults by the Houthis on vessels navigating the Red Sea, notably impacting a fuel tanker operated by Trafigura. Traders are now awaiting a response from the United States that could escalate the turmoil in the area.
The price action has been volatile early in the session with crude oil jumping substantially on the opening, but then pulling back more than $1.00 as traders sold the initial rally. The lack of speculative buying to sustained the price surge likely led to its intraday collapse.
The price is likely to collapse again when the dust settles.
