Houthis Join Iran War, Saudi Pipeline Hits 7M Barrel Goal, More

Houthis have joined Iran's war, marking a regional escalation that heightens geopolitical risk and the potential for oil supply disruptions. At the same time, a Saudi pipeline has hit a 7M-barrel goal, indicating restored crude flow that may partially offset supply shocks. Net implication: upward pressure on energy risk premia and near-term oil-price volatility; monitor shipping routes, insurance costs and OPEC+ output adjustments.
