WS #16347
Brent crude has climbed above $111.66, marking its highest level in five months, following Houthi strikes that killed four people at a Saudi airport and oilfield. This escalation validates earlier bearish calls on the broader market and triggers a classic second-order effect: energy majors like ExxonMobil and Chevron are rallying, while airlines and logistics firms face margin compression due to a 67.5% jump in fuel costs. The situation is escalating, with no signs of de-escalation in the Red Sea or Persian Gulf corridors.
