布伦特原油价格周四上涨3%，达到每桶112美元，创下5月18日以来的新高1。油价上升的主要原因是中东地区的安全威胁升级。也门胡塞武装周三对沙特阿拉伯发动了多起袭击，在达曼机场造成2人死亡、8人受伤，在油田无人机袭击中又导致2人死亡1。与此同时，伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队声称在霍尔木兹海峡击中4艘非法转运油轮，其中3艘船只与地雷碰撞1。
这些事件引发了全球市场的担忧。美国已下令部分外交官及家属撤离沙特使馆，沙特阿美公司也指示员工疏散，改为远程工作1。全球股市随之下跌，反映投资者对通胀和借贷成本上升的忧虑——欧洲Stoxx 600指数下跌1%，英国FTSE 100下跌0.7%，日本日经225指数下跌2.7%，韩国KOSPI下跌3.5%，香港恒生指数下跌3%1。油价在4月的冲突期间曾达到每桶126美元，随后于7月初跌至71美元1。
Brent crude oil prices surged 3% to $112 per barrel on Thursday, marking the highest level since May 18, driven by escalating security threats to energy infrastructure in the Middle East 1. The price spike reflects heightened concerns over global crude supply disruption following attacks on Saudi Arabian facilities and vessels in strategic shipping lanes.
Yemen's Houthi forces struck Saudi Arabia's Dammam airport on Wednesday, killing two people and injuring eight, while also conducting drone attacks on oil fields that resulted in two additional deaths 1. Meanwhile, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reported hitting four illegally smuggled oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, with three vessels colliding with mines 1. These incidents prompted the United States to order the evacuation of some diplomatic staff and their families from the Saudi embassy, and Saudi Aramco directed employees to work remotely from locations outside company headquarters 1.
Global equity markets declined in response to the geopolitical tensions and concerns about inflation and rising borrowing costs 1. Europe's Stoxx 600 index fell 1%, the UK's FTSE 100 dropped 0.7%, Japan's Nikkei 225 decreased 2.7%, South Korea's KOSPI slid 3.5%, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index fell 3% 1. The current price movement represents a recovery from July's lows of $71 per barrel, though it remains below the $126 peak reached during conflicts in April 1.
