Oil prices rose 4% on renewed Gulf tensions, with markets reacting to supply disruption risks after the UAE said its air defenses were responding to a missile threat and a South Korean vessel caught fire. The move is supportive for crude and energy-linked assets, reflecting a risk premium tied to geopolitical escalation. The main impact is sector-level, though broader market effects depend on whether tensions intensify further.
