Oil price jumps as US-Iran clashes raise odds of interest rate rises

The News

The US conducted a third consecutive night of military strikes against Iran, causing oil prices to spike. Brent crude rose 4.6% to $87.08 per barrel. This increased expectations of interest rate rises in Europe and contributed to falling stock markets, with analysts pricing in two UK rate rises by the end of the year.
