"The bigger concern remains that the escalation of tension that we're likely to see with regard to the IDF entering Gaza this weekend means the risk to crude oil are towards higher prices," IG analyst Tony Sycamore said. The U.S. intercepted missiles fired from Yemen toward Israel, Pentagon said, adding to the anxiety about the broadening of the conflict.
Oil price are also supported by forecasts of a widening deficit in the fourth quarter after top producers Saudi Arabia and Russia extended supply cuts to the end of the year and amid low inventories especially in the United States.
