Oil prices slip as tankers continue to ply Middle East conflict zones
Oil prices saw a decline as tankers continued to move out of the Middle East. Escalating tensions and expanded conflict fronts are impacting regional stability. Thirty-nine commodity ships passed through the Bab el-Mandeb strait into the Red Sea. Iran has ruled out an Omani proposal for regional joint management of the strait. Saudi Arabia is seeking to build a coalition to protect Red Sea shipping from Houthi attacks.
