NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The BBC Business and FT UK report the same development in oil prices, with both stating that Brent crude has reached $100 for the first time since May. Both sources attribute the price rise to escalating conflict in the Middle East, although the FT UK specifically mentions an attack by Houthis on Saudi Arabian tankers in the Red Sea. The tone and emphasis of the two reports are broadly similar, highlighting the impact of the conflict on energy supplies. The BBC Business notes a 5% rise in the price of Brent crude on Thursday.
