#IsraelIranConflict

The tension in the Middle East caused by Israel's attack on Iran has unleashed a strong reaction in the markets. The most affected are international oil prices, which soar more than 6%, while Wall Street and European stock markets show widespread losses.

The main U.S. oil contract, West Texas Intermediate (WTI), jumps 6.1% to $72.20 per barrel, its highest price since last February. Likewise, Brent crude, the benchmark in Europe and Argentina, rises 6% to $73.50 per barrel.
