Oil prices climbed sharply on Monday after Israel ordered its troops to advance further into Lebanon, escalating tensions with the Iran-backed Hezbollah group. This move threatens the fragile ceasefire brokered by the U.S. between Washington and Tehran, despite a ceasefire declared in April. Brent crude rose 2.45% to $93.35 per barrel, and West Texas Intermediate gained 2.8% to $89.78. Goldman Sachs highlighted risks to its oil price forecasts, noting that while supply disruptions in the Middle East could push prices higher, weakening demand from China and Europe could offset gains, posing downside risks to the market.
