RTP Notícias9 September 2026 at 13:38

Oil prices have surged and the barrel has already exceeded 100 dollars, according to news published this week. The escalation of tension in the Middle East is having a direct impact on global oil markets.

Brent, which is the benchmark used in Europe, recorded a significant gain, reaching the highest level since July. This increase reflects growing concerns about stability in the Middle East region.

International markets are showing particular sensitivity to the region's geopolitical situation, where recent developments have fueled fears of potential disruptions in crude supply. This surge comes at a time of heightened vulnerability in energy markets.
