The benchmark oil price rose sharply on Thursday, after reaching $95 a barrel the day before amid fears that Yemen’s Houthi militia could strangle Saudi oil exports through the Red Sea while US-Iran tensions over oil flows through the strait of Hormuz intensify.

Prices spiked after Houthi militia attacked oil tankers in the Red Sea, threatening a key export route that Saudi Arabia has used to bypass the Strait of Hormuz.

Brent crude, the international benchmark for oil prices, surged past $100 a barrel in March, after the US and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran that all but stopped exports of fossil fuels from the Gulf via the strait of Hormuz.

Context

Image source, Bloomberg via Getty ImagesByMichael Race and Ben King, Business reportersPublished49 minutes agoOil prices hit $100 a barrel for the first time since May as the escalating conflict in the Middle East reignited fears over global energy supplies.

The oil price has climbed back above $100 a barrel for the first time in two months, as a fresh escalation of the Middle East conflict threatens to compound disruption to global oil supplies.

The Iranian-aligned Houthis said on Thursday they attacked two Saudi Arabian oil tankers, the ‌Encelia and Layla, accusing the crews of violating a naval blockade imposed by the group in the Red Sea.

The oil price peaked at $126 a barrel in April during the conflict, but fell back below $100 in late May and had fallen to as low as $71 at the start of July amid hopes of a ceasefire in the region.

Brent crude - the global benchmark for oil prices - rose more than 5% on Thursday after several days of increases as the US stepped up military strikes against Iran.

Houthis say they targeted two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea.
