WTI crude oil futures jumped over 2% in the pre-market session amid rising concerns over global oil supplies. The primary driver is the reported shutdown of a key Saudi Arabian East-West pipeline following attacks, which is intensifying fears of a supply crunch. This pipeline is a critical route for crude exports, and its disruption, coupled with the postponement of talks between Gulf Arab states and Iran, has heightened market uncertainty and propelled prices upward.
