Oil rises on risk of broadening Middle East conflict
  + stars: | 2024-08-01 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
The most active contracts on both benchmarks jumped about 4% in the previous session. The killings fueled concern that the 10-month-old war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas was turning into a wider Middle East war, which could potentially lead to disruptions in oil supply from the region. Also pushing up oil prices was a set of data releases from the U.S., the world's top oil consumer, and a weaker dollar. U.S. oil demand was at a seasonal record in May as gasoline consumption surged to its highest since before the pandemic, a separate data release from the EIA showed on Wednesday. A weaker dollar can boost oil demand from investors holding other currencies.
