Brent settled up 7.04% at $100.69 as Houthi attacks on Saudi tankers elevated supply-disruption risk across Red Sea routes, compounding earlier concerns around the Strait of Hormuz. The move reflects a geopolitical shipping-risk premium rather than improved demand, making near-term pricing highly sensitive to transit/security updates, export-loading data, and OPEC+ messaging.
