SINGAPORE, Oct 5 (Reuters) – Oil prices rose on Monday after Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis said they launched ballistic missiles and drones at Saudi Aramco sites in Riyadh and the Khurais area, raising concerns about production at the top exporter in the region.
Brent crude futures climbed 81 cents, or 0.79%, to $103.06 a barrel by 2202 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate crude was at $91.57 a barrel, up 46 cents, or 0.50%.
