Oil prices surged on Thursday, with Brent crude returning to $100 a barrel, amid escalating tensions in the Middle East and global concerns about diesel stocks. The surge was driven by reports of the U.S. sending additional troops and aircraft carriers to the Middle East, as well as China suspending fuel exports. This exacerbated fears of a worsening global fuel shortage, with diesel supplies already tight due to damage to refining infrastructure in the Persian Gulf and Russia. The U.S. has urged Germany and France to tap their emergency diesel reserves, while President Trump considers resuming attacks on Iran after the midterm elections.
