Oil jumps more than 4% to a 16-week high after Saudi pipeline attack
AI Market Summary
Crude rallied to a 16-week high after strikes disrupted Saudi Arabia's east-west pipeline and escalating Red Sea/Hormuz security risks raised the threat of supply interruptions (up to ~4% of global supply). While near-term exports may be buffered by Saudi inventories, tighter shipping flows and refinery constraints are amplifying risk premia. The parallel surge in diesel and crack spreads signals acute product tightness and reinforces the broader energy complex bid.
