Oil prices increased due to concerns over a potential escalation in the Middle East conflict, as the US and Israeli militaries have prepared plans for renewed strikes on Iran following next month's midterm elections. Brent crude rose to $110.67 a barrel and US West Texas Intermediate crude to $98.53. Additionally, the US has ordered non-emergency government employees and their families to leave Saudi Arabia amid rising attacks by Iran-aligned Houthis. Despite higher oil prices, experts suggest the economic impact may be less severe than in past decades, as consumers are now less vulnerable to energy shocks.
