Tuesday, November 7th, 5:00am | | | | 1. Oil slick: Political turmoil in the Middle East has driven crude oil prices to $57, their highest level in more than two years. | | | | Investor attention has focused on Saudi Arabia, where scores of princes, high-profile businessmen and government officials were arrested over the weekend in a crackdown on corruption. | | | | The threat of conflict with Iran has also unnerved markets. Saudi is fighting a proxy war with its regional rival in Yemen, and there have been signs of escalation in recent days. | | | | "Conflicts within the Middle East are becoming a major influencer on energy markets, and a further surge in [oil] prices will likely be due to political risk," said Hussein Sayed, chief market strategist at trading platform FXTM. | | | | Before the Bell newsletter: Key market news.
