Brent oil above 105 dollars per barrel, the highest value since May

RTP Notícias10 September 2026 at 16:00

Brent oil exceeded 105 dollars per barrel today, reaching the highest value since May. This significant increase in crude prices occurs in a context of growing geopolitical tension in the region.

The main cause of this rise is the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, which has been worsening in recent weeks. The situation in the region has become more volatile with the spread of confrontations to new areas.

Houthi attacks from Yemen have contributed to the instability in the region, affecting oil distribution routes and increasing fears in international energy markets. This Shia militia has been carrying out operations that raise the risk in the area.
