Oil prices hold above $110 as Israel, Iran target major energy infrastructure throughout Gulf

The news highlights oil prices remaining above $110 amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, which could disrupt key energy infrastructure in the Gulf, potentially leading to supply shortages and higher global energy costs. This situation might benefit oil-producing companies in the short term but could add inflationary pressures on economies worldwide, depending on the duration and intensity of the conflict. However, as Middle East tensions are often anticipated by markets, the actual price impact may already be factored in, limiting further upside.
