Summary

Oil prices rose above $101 per barrel on October 7 as traders assessed supply threats from two sources: a developing storm in the US Gulf of Mexico expected to become a hurricane and impact offshore oil and gas production, and attacks by Yemen's Houthi forces on Saudi Arabia. Reports indicate the Houthis targeted Saudi airports in Jazan and Najran, with one account stating the Saudi-led coalition intercepted a ballistic missile launched toward Khamis Mushait. Brent crude reached around $101.50 per barrel while US West Texas Intermediate crude moved above $90. Despite these supply concerns, reports note that increased crude supplies from the Middle East provided some market balance.
