Oil prices rise over 1% after Yemen's Houthis hit Saudi tanker, dampening ceasefire hopes.

Oil prices rebounded on Wednesday after Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi militants reportedly struck a Saudi Arabian tanker in the Red Sea, pushing Brent crude up more than 1.2% to $80.32 a barrel. The attack near Yanbu, a key Saudi oil export port, raised tensions and hurt hopes for a potential ceasefire in the Middle East, which had improved following optimistic comments from U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Despite earlier signs of easing, including a U.S. statement that the Strait of Hormuz southern route remains open, the strike has unsettled markets and increased uncertainty about regional stability and oil supply routes.
