Israel's strikes against Iran on Thursday night sent oil prices sharply higher, with Brent trading at its highest level since early April. Traders are pricing in the risk that the conflict could spread to regional oil production and transport infrastructure.
Analysts said the attacks had not yet affected actual oil market fundamentals.
