Oil prices have recorded a strong increase after Iran launched attacks on targets in the United Arab Emirates, amplifying tensions in the Middle East. These attacks target the energy infrastructure in the Gulf, a crucial area for global oil supplies, considering that a large portion of the world's oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz. Investors react quickly to geopolitical risks, fearing possible disruptions in supplies and the blocking of maritime routes, which has led to sudden price increases in energy markets. Recent tensions have caused price increases of 5-8% in a single day, and in the event of an escalation of the conflict, the price of oil could exceed $150-200 per barrel. This situation underscores the direct impact of geopolitical risks on global energy markets, with possible effects on fuel prices in Europe.
