Brent crude at $91 amid Houthi threats, US warning
Brent crude oil just climbed to $91 a barrel, the highest in two months, after things got tense in West Asia.
Yemen's Houthi rebels are threatening to block shipping routes in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb Strait, even telling shipowners not to dock at Saudi ports.
The US isn't taking it lightly, with President Trump warning there will be retaliation if shipping is disrupted and mentioning possible strikes on a suspected Iranian nuclear site.
Kazakh terminal shut and tankers diverted
These tensions aren't just headlines: they're shaking up global oil flows.
Attacks have shut down a pipeline terminal used by Kazakhstan on Russia's Black Sea coast, which handles most of the country's exports and is vital for Europe's energy needs.
Meanwhile, three oil tankers, one carrying Saudi crude, have already had to change course, affecting deliveries to China, India, and Pakistan.
