Oil hits 108 dollars with Saudi pipeline closure

Oil rose 3% today to 108 dollars, following the closure of the Saudi "East-West" pipeline that transports crude via the Red Sea, avoiding the Strait of Hormuz, following a drone attack launched from Iraq. The market fears that the world could lose up to 4% of global oil supply if the pipeline is not repaired in the coming days, with the port of Yanbu having only enough stock for one week of exports. This rise worsens an already marked context of rising inflation, interest rate hikes in the eurozone and the US, and sovereign bond yields at their highest levels since the 2008 financial crisis.
