What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Oil prices climbed sharply on Thursday due to rising attacks on vessels in West Asia and production shutdowns related to a hurricane in the US. Brent crude rose 3.86 per cent to $104.10 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose 3.75 per cent to $91.59. This sharp rise in oil prices led to heavy selling pressure on crude-sensitive stocks. Shares of Hindustan Petroleum Corporation fell 4.5 per cent, and InterGlobe Aviation shares declined 3 per cent.
