The new price rise happened as Iran’s Revolutionary Guards launched “dozens of drones and missiles” at Israel in retaliation for an attack on its consulate in Syria on 1 April which killed seven military officers, including a top commander.
The attack has caused heightened tension in the Middle East which has been in crisis since Hamas attacked Israel last year while Europe is battling with the Russia/Ukraine War.
A check by The Whistler on crude oil prices shows that the three major grades Brass River, Qua Iboe and Bonny Light were all trading above Brent Crude and the West Texas Intermediate. Brass River sells for $93.89, Qua Iboe, $93.89 while Bonny Light is priced at $93.54 per barrel.
