Ціни на нафту зростають через атаки хуситів на нафтопереробний завод у Саудівській Аравії, що посилює побоювання щодо постачання

Crude oil futures rose during the session as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East escalated sharply. Fresh attacks attributed to Houthi forces targeted a major Saudi Arabian refinery, immediately triggering supply security worries.
