What happened

Well supportedReported by 13 independent outlets

Crude oil rebounded after a recent dip, driven by persistent supply risks stemming from escalating Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia. These attacks, which target airports and energy infrastructure, have kept a significant geopolitical premium in crude prices. Separately, higher oil prices and rising bond yields caused European stocks to retreat.
