Crude Oil is trading slightly lower today in the Asian session below the $85 level.
Despite drone and missile attacks by Iran on Israel, crude oil futures traded lower on Monday morning. Iran's assault, which involved more than 300 drones and missiles, targeted Israel following an attack on the Iranian embassy in Syria. Iran suspects Israeli involvement in the Syrian embassy attack.
Reports from the market indicate that the Israeli government is preparing to respond to Saturday’s attack. A potential full-scale conflict between Israel and Iran could disrupt crude oil supplies to the global market. Iran is a significant producer of crude oil on the world stage.
