Key facts

Oil prices have risen due to concerns over an escalating war involving Iran. This rise occurred amid reports that President Donald Trump was considering further strikes on Iran before the US midterm elections. Consequently, stock markets recorded losses, and Iraq devalued its currency following the disruption of oil shipping routes.
