On Wednesday, oil prices rose sharply, with Brent reaching $66.25 a barrel and US crude at $62.92 a barrel. The rise was triggered by fears of a possible Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, which could disrupt oil supplies, given that Iran is a major producer in OPEC. There is also a risk that Iran could retaliate by blocking the Strait of Hormuz, affecting oil exports from the region.
