Tuesday October 1, 2024
Crude futures jumped on Tuesday afternoon amid reports of a planned Iranian missile strike on Israel.
ICE December Brent futures traded at $73.34/bl as of 3:20 PM in London, up by $1.64/bl from Monday's close. Earlier in the day the futures had been trading as low as $70/bl.
The US has warned Israel that Iran is planning to launch ballistic missiles at the country, the Times of Israel reported. The warning follows a series of attacks by Israel on Hezbollah in Lebanon over the past two weeks.
A large-scale strike by Iran could risk a widening of the conflict in the Middle East, with oil production and export facilities across the region under threat.
