Saudi Arabia has restarted oil exports through the crucial East-West pipeline after completing necessary repairs following recent drone strikes. This development allows the kingdom to enhance its oil shipments, contributing to a rebound in Middle Eastern oil exports, now reaching a wartime high of 12.8 million barrels per day. Despite the resurgence, oil prices have slightly eased as the market adjusts to the renewed supply. Analysts note that while Saudi Arabia is effectively increasing its exports, geopolitical tensions, particularly regarding Iran and shipping insurance costs, continue to pose risks for the global oil market.
