Oil prices fell more than 2% on Monday (October 26), as investors weighed the threat of further attacks on Saudi Arabia's energy infrastructure against concerns that high oil prices could erode demand. U.S. WTI crude futures fell 2.19% to $101 per barrel, while Brent crude futures dropped 1.89% to $114.51 per barrel. This decline followed a significant surge in oil prices after Houthi attacks in Yemen on Saudi Arabia. Over the weekend, Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for attacks on Riyadh's main airport and oil facilities in the Saudi capital, with Saudi authorities stating on Sunday that they had intercepted additional missiles and drones. Despite the attacks, Saudi Arabia's main airport partially resumed operations on Sunday. Analysts noted that geopolitical uncertainty has added approximately $20 per barrel to oil prices, but if Brent crude prices break above $120, $130, or $140 per barrel, it could lead to demand destruction. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Energy on Friday authorized the release of up to 400,000 barrels of crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to address supply disruptions at a refinery in Louisiana.
