The price of European natural gas reached its highest level since the beginning of the Iran war, trading at 71.70 euros per megawatt-hour on the TTF contract for delivery in one month. [^1]

ADNOC's Ruwais refinery, one of the world's largest, damaged early in the conflict, has resumed full-capacity operations and is expected to increase diesel and jet fuel exports, which could ease global refined product supply tightness. [^2]

Brent crude oil approached $92 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) traded around $87 after posting its sharpest daily gain in three weeks. [^3]

US forces attacked an island in the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran responded with missile strikes on American air bases in the United Arab Emirates and Jordan. [^4]

US President Donald Trump said on Fox News that the United States will respond to attacks on American forces, signaling possible further military escalation. [^5]

Brent crude oil, the reference grade from the North Sea, traded at 92.18 US dollars per barrel for November delivery, nearly two percent higher than the previous day. [^6]

The British Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported that an oil tanker was attacked in the Strait of Hormus during the night. [^7]
