- The war in the Gaza Strip and disruptions in the Red Sea continue

Oil prices rose by about 2.2% on Monday as investors weighed the impact of wars in the Middle East and Ukraine. Reportedly, over the weekend, the Ukrainian side attacked a major Russian fuel terminal (unconfirmed), reigniting concerns about supply disruptions. This refers to one of the key oil processing plants near Saint Petersburg, specifically in Ust-Luga. Importantly, the plant owned by Novatek also processes gas condensates for aviation fuels and heating oils.

The price of a barrel of oil (OIL.WTI) gained over 2.20% today to $75.25. Source: xStation 5
