Saudi Arabia reroutes crude through Hormuz, easing oil price dip

Saudi Arabia increased ship-to-ship crude transfers near the Strait of Hormuz, helping reverse a recent dip in oil prices after a shutdown of its East-West pipeline, cnbc. com reported. The dip followed a series of supply-tightening events. Goldman Sachs warned that intensified attacks on Middle East shipping could push crude toward $120 a barrel, and Brent futures rose above $100 after U. S.

strikes on Iranian tankers and renewed Red Sea attacks, according to OilPrice. com and NBC News. Analysts also linked tighter supplies from the Hormuz corridor and a rebound in Chinese demand to further price pressure, while U. S. crude briefly climbed above $102, as noted by CNBC.
