Oil prices swing as Middle East tensions grip markets

Original: price of oil

Reports of a possible breakthrough to end the Iran conflict pushed prices lower, while renewed Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia lifted them as supply concerns outweighed expectations of a production recovery. Analysts warn the market remains highly sensitive to any escalation.

Why now: Rapid swings in oil prices driven by shifting Middle East conflict headlines are affecting markets and consumers.
