November WTI crude oil (CLX26) is up +0.94 (+1.00%) today, and November RBOB gasoline (RBX26) is down -0.049 (-0.15%). Crude oil prices extended this week's rally to a 2-week high today. Escalating hostilities in the Middle East that are disrupting regional energy supplies are pushing crude prices higher. Crude prices fell from their best level today after the dollar index ($DXY) rallied to a 1.5-year high.

Crude oil prices rose today as Yemen's Houthi rebels launched multiple drone and missile attacks across Saudi Arabia, including oil infrastructure. Iran has also increased attacks on shipping attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz, threatening a rebound in energy supplies from the Middle East Goldman Sachs estimates there's a $24-a-barrel risk premium in crude oil prices due to the Middle East conflict. However, if Europe releases half the diesel it has announced from reserves, fair value prices could fall by about $11 a barrel. Surging freight costs to ship crude out of the Middle East due to Iranian attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz are bullish for crude prices. The cost to ship oil from the Middle East to China jumped to $1.4 million a day last week, the most on record. Higher Saudi crude output is bearish for crude prices. Saudi Arabia said its Sep crude production rose by 2 million bpd (+40% m/m) to 8.732 million bpd, recovering from a 36-year low in August. Despite attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, more crude is leaving the Middle East, easing global supply concerns. Shell Plc said oil flows out of Hormuz have increased to about 80% of prewar levels. Another bearish factor for crude was Saudi Aramco's action last Monday to cut the price of its Arab Light crude to Asian buyers by $5 a barrel below a regional benchmark for November delivery, a wider cut than the expected $5 a barrel increase. The advances by the Houthi rebels to take territory along the Red Sea in Yemen are also contributing to concerns about tighter oil supplies from the Middle East. Last month, the Houthis captured a pair of islands near the Bab-al-Mandeb Strait. That followed their seizure of Perim Island and the Red Sea port city of Mokha at the southern end of the Red Sea, putting the group in a stronger position to attack ships. Since the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Saudi Arabia has pivoted to the Red Sea to export most of its oil over the past two months. However, escalating tensions with the Houthis have disrupted that route.
