A surge in crude oil prices is affecting markets. The price of Brent crude rose significantly, exceeding $100 a barrel, before dipping slightly. This increase is likely due to recent tensions.
U.S. President Donald Trump commented on the situation, suggesting that oil prices may remain high until after the midterm elections. Asian markets were impacted, with various indexes experiencing losses, including a notable decline in Hong Kong's Hang Seng.
