Oil prices have increased due to concerns about global supplies. This rise comes as a key pipeline is being repaired after an attack. The pipeline's damage will take weeks to fix, limiting oil flow. Yemen's Houthi rebels have also taken control of more islands, affecting shipping routes.

The incident has strained efforts to export oil, particularly for the world's largest exporter. Alternative routes are being used due to disruptions in the Persian Gulf.
