Drone strikes on Saudi oil facilities over the weekend shut more than half of the kingdom's daily exports, about 5% of world crude production. Brent briefly rose almost 20% in early trading and settled up about 10% at $66.28, later topping $70, while US crude rose more than 10%.
The outage is the largest supply disruption on record according to the IEA, so it tightens global crude and raises energy and freight costs for feed buyers. Experts expect weeks before full production returns, which keeps upward pressure on prices.
