Houthi strikes on Riyadh airports have killed 13 people and triggered new security protocols, forcing Delta Air Lines to delay its nonstop Atlanta-Riyadh service until March 2027. This escalation reinforces the bearish outlook for airlines and shipping in the region, while energy producers like XOM and CVX benefit from sustained supply fears. The incident marks a significant de-escalation of diplomatic efforts, with Ukraine continuing to strike Russian oil refineries in response to US pressure, further complicating global energy flows.
