Saudi Arabia attacks outweigh Trump’s diesel deal as oil prices rise

Reuters reports that oil prices rose following attacks in Saudi Arabia, overshadowing Trump’s diesel deal. The report identifies the attacks as the development taking precedence in the oil market.

Separate market data from Yahoo Finance via yfinance show Brent crude at $106.13 per barrel, up 1.35% in one day and 5.79% in one week. WTI crude, another benchmark oil price, stood at $93.29 per barrel, up 1.57% in one day and 4.32% in one week. Both recorded three consecutive up days, although WTI remained down 7.99% over one month.

The simultaneous gains in both benchmarks let readers judge that the attacks, rather than the diesel deal, were dominating near-term oil pricing. That interpretation would change if Brent and WTI reversed these gains in subsequent market data or if a new report showed that the diesel deal had become the dominant influence on prices.
