Oil Climbs as Houthi Attacks on Saudi Arabia Continue

Mideast oil exports are recovering and approaching prewar levels, yet prices remain stubbornly high. Recent Houthi attacks in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province targeted an Aramco oil field and an airport, resulting in three deaths. Consequently, the US State Department ordered the departure of non-emergency personnel and their families from the kingdom. These events highlight the ongoing risks and growing threats from Houthi militants in Yemen, causing oil prices to climb despite the increase in Persian Gulf exports.
