Saudi Arabia has suffered attacks on an Aramco oil field and King Fahd airport, resulting in casualties and prompting the US to order the departure of non-essential personnel and families.

The market implication is a sharp divergence between energy beneficiaries and transport/consumer victims, with airlines and refiners facing margin destruction.
