      Oil Prices Rise Amid Houthi Attacks and Iranian Tactics

      Oil prices increased on Wednesday following a strike by Yemen's Houthi forces on a Saudi Aramco administrative building in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. Brent crude futures rose approximately 0.4% to around $106 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) gained about 1%, reaching approximately $95, its highest level in three weeks. Analysts indicated that the price gains were largely driven by fears stemming from attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and escalating tensions between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-aligned Houthis.

      The Houthis have claimed responsibility for multiple missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia, asserting that these actions are retaliation for Riyadh's support of Yemeni government forces. A Yemeni military spokesperson warned that operations against Saudi airports and oil facilities would continue, urging shipping companies and civilians to evacuate those areas. Meanwhile, Iranian officials have announced the implementation of new tactics targeting vessels, although specific details have not been disclosed.

      Despite the geopolitical tensions, the International Energy Agency reported that crude oil exports from Gulf producers rose by about 4.4 million barrels per day in September, reaching approximately 75% of pre-war levels. However, analysts cautioned that the increase in exports does not necessarily indicate a rise in production, as some of the recovery may be due to barrels being diverted from regional refineries. Additionally, the IEA has revised its forecast for global oil demand, predicting a decline of about 2.6 million barrels per day in 2026, influenced by ongoing conflict and high prices affecting consumption.
