Oil prices surged to their highest levels in six weeks as tensions escalated between the US and Iran, with both nations exchanging attacks over the weekend. Brent crude rose to $97.52 per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate briefly surpassed $93 a barrel. The spike followed fresh strikes on Saudi Aramco's oil facilities in Jizan, Saudi Arabia, and US military strikes on Iranian oil tankers linked to funding Iran's Revolutionary Guard.
