What happened

Well supportedReported by 9 independent outlets

Attacks on shipping and energy infrastructure in the Middle East have intensified, leading to higher oil prices and negative pressure on equity markets. Following reports of a US attack on Qeshm Island, Brent crude crept above $106 per barrel, putting pressure on London’s blue-chip index. Conversely, easing tensions caused Brent crude to fall, impacting global equities and Nasdaq volatility.
