Middle East tensions have escalated following a drone attack on the Saudi East-West Pipeline, reigniting fears of supply disruptions and pushing Brent crude prices above $108.24. This has intensified market concerns over energy security and global supply chains. The geopolitical risks have also impacted financial markets, with chip stocks like AMD and MU sliding due to calls for an AI industry slowdown by Anthropic and others. The market remains cautious, with investors closely monitoring for any signs of further escalation.
