Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Tensions following the attacks on Saudi Arabia caused Brent crude oil futures to rise to about $114 a barrel. Analysts note that this rise presents a dominant risk, potentially intensifying inflation and hurting consumption and corporate profitability.

The Houthis have previously launched attacks on Saudi Aramco facilities and commercial vessels, prompting a retaliatory response from Saudi Arabia.
