What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A disruption in shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has caused global oil inventories to fall by nearly one billion barrels. This event has led to a surge in shipping and logistics costs, which have risen from under 5 per cent to over 30 per cent of the cost of a barrel. During a conference in Abu Dhabi, Sultan Al Jaber called for an overhaul of energy security, including greater investment in artificial intelligence.
