Saudi East-West pipeline attack pushes Australian fuel prices to A$2.37 a litre
AI Market Summary
Drone attacks shutting Saudi Arabia's East–West pipeline have disrupted ~4mb/d (~4% of global supply), tightening an already fragile oil balance amid the US–Iran war. With benchmarks near $100/bbl and limited export rerouting capacity, the news increases near-term supply-risk premium across crude and refined products. Australia's sharp petrol/diesel increases underscore rapid pass-through risk and reinforce inflation sensitivity tied to energy markets.
