Energy market records new price peak

Global oil price indicators continue their sharp rise, reaching their highest levels in the past five months. The benchmark Brent grade has crossed the $112-a-barrel mark. This trend is driven primarily by the geopolitical instability prevailing in the Middle East region.

Impact of security threats on quotes

The main driver of rising energy prices has been the deterioration of the security situation. In particular, the market has been affected by the actions and statements of Yemen's Houthis, who are carrying out attacks on energy infrastructure and military targets on Saudi Arabian territory. The market is reacting to these events with an increase in the geopolitical risk premium, as there is a threat to the stability of raw material supplies from this region.

Expectations of raw material shortage

Experts and traders emphasise that concerns over shipping security and risks associated with oil processing facilities continue to put pressure on quotes. The threat to key oil delivery routes is forcing market participants to factor a high probability of a raw material shortage into their models.
