Oil prices continued to rise amid fears over Middle East supplies, while technology stocks led market losses. A file satellite image shows Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline after it was struck on September 11, 2026.
Oil prices jumped Monday after Saudi Arabia closed a critical pipeline and talks over the future of the Strait of Hormuz were postponed, pushing diesel prices to a new all-time high.
The shutdown of a Saudi oil pipeline threatens exports to Europe and Asia. Gulf oil shipments have already dropped sharply, while shipping routes face further risks; with no restart date, the effect on deliveries will depend on how long the disruption continues.
Saudi Arabia temporarily shut the roughly 750-mile pipeline after attacks threatened the key route that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz. Satellite imagery shows the extent of the damage.
Oil prices climbed above $107 a barrel after drone attacks forced Saudi Arabia to close its East-West crude pipeline. Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi forces also attacked Saudi infrastructure and captured Perim island in the Bab al-Mandab strait, intensifying concerns about disruption to energy and shipping routes.
Brent crude rose above $107 a barrel on Monday morning after an attack on a merchant vessel in the Strait of Hormuz killed one crew member. Saudi Arabia also shut its main pipeline bypassing the waterway, reviving fears that Middle East supply routes are closing.
