Saudi pipeline shut after drone attacks as oil prices jump
Saudi Arabia's pipeline bypassing the Strait of Hormuz remains shut after drone attacks, while oil prices rose by more than $3 following new strikes affecting Saudi Arabia and the strait. A planned Hormuz meeting was also postponed.
Damage or continued closure of alternative export infrastructure raises the risk of a wider oil-supply shock alongside disruption at the Hormuz chokepoint.
