Oil prices surge as Iraqi Kurdish authorities say oil field hit

Crude prices rose further on Friday after Iraqi Kurdish authorities said oil production at an oil field operated by a U.S. firm was halted following an attack.

The main U.S. contract, West Texas Intermediate, jumped 5.7 percent to $85.61 per barrel, its highest level since April 2024.

International benchmark, Brent North Sea crude, jumped 4.3 percent to $89.06 per barrel.
