Brent crude futures rose to the highest since July 2024 at $87.66 a barrel, recording a 20% weekly rise—the largest since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Qatar’s energy minister Saad al-Kaabi told the Financial Times that global oil prices could surge to as high as $150 a barrel if the conflict in the Middle East intensifies and disrupts energy supplies from the Gulf.
