Prețul petrolului începe săptămâna la peste 107 dolari pe baril

Oil prices surged at the start of the week, exceeding $100 per barrel due to Middle Eastern tensions, including the closure of a key Saudi pipeline and attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude rose by 2.80% to $107.54, while West Texas Intermediate increased by 2.29% to $102.34. Oman postponed a meeting between Iran and Gulf states regarding the Strait, which remains a strategic maritime route. Recent attacks have heightened concerns, with Saudi authorities temporarily closing the East-West pipeline following drone strikes attributed to Iraq.
