Oil prices are set for their fourth consecutive monthly gain, with Brent up nearly 14% and WTI about 15% in October, driven by expanded attacks from Yemen's Houthis on key Saudi energy infrastructure including major refineries and processing plants. These attacks have heightened supply concerns, pushing prices above $100 for the first time since April. Meanwhile, US crude stocks have fallen for four straight weeks, and Russian refinery output has partially rebounded, offering limited relief. Natural gas prices fell after a larger-than-expected storage build, but inventories remain normal. The outlook remains cautious as geopolitical tensions and supply disruptions keep oil prices elevated, with technical analysis indicating potential for further gains if key resistance levels are surpassed.
