During the time of writing, Brent petroleum futures were trading at around $78/bbl, up $8/bbl from final month but more than $10/bbl less than a year ago.Prices surged previously this month with the marketplace right now concentrated on Israel's following action, as well as inquiries over whether crucial Iranian energy infrastructure could be targeted.
