Oil prices rise as shipments through Red Sea are halted

Oil prices (CL=F, BZ=F) have moved higher following news that producer BP (BP) will temporarily halt shipments through the Red Sea after reported attacks on vessels delivering on this route. Analysts estimate 12-15% of the global oil supply moves through this passage from the Middle East, meaning any prolonged closure could impact availability in relevant markets.
Yahoo Finance Ines Ferré breaks down the details and what these pressures will mean for oil and natural gas prices.
