Brent crude prices are rising above $101 a barrel as supply disruption fears build. Quartz reports that nearly 10% of U.S. Gulf oil output is shut in ahead of a Gulf storm, while Houthi missiles strike Saudi-related sites including airports. Other outlets similarly describe price gains linked to the storm and attacks, with Brent holding above $100 throughout the day.
Futures data across the reports shows Brent up around 1% in recent trading, with December Brent quoted near $101.6 in one account and just above $101 in another. WTI futures for November are also higher, around $90.2–$90.4. Times of India adds broader context, citing ongoing Saudi-Houthi tensions and mixed signals on U.S. inventories. It also notes analysts’ expectations that elevated prices could persist unless diplomatic conditions improve or disruptions ease.
