Global oil prices experienced a sharp increase following a series of attacks by Houthi forces targeting commercial shipping vessels in the Red Sea. The attacks have disrupted one of the world’s most critical maritime trade corridors, prompting several major shipping companies to halt transit through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. To avoid the region, vessels are being rerouted around Africa’s Cape of Good Hope, adding significant travel time and operational costs. The resulting supply chain delays and security concerns have heightened tensions in energy markets and driven up global crude prices.
