Brent Crude Oil rose 3.4% to $106.60 a barrel on Thursday, hitting a one-week high after a missile attack on Saudi Arabia sparked supply concerns. The rally followed intercepted strikes by Yemen's Houthi movement against energy infrastructure in the region. Prices later retreated from session highs as negotiations between Iran and the United States advanced.
