The reports focused on the impact of the escalating war between Iran and the United States on global oil supplies, as the world lost 2.6 billion barrels of crude oil during the conflict period.

"Aramco" indicated that rising oil prices led to a 44% increase in its profits in the second quarter, despite ongoing losses in inventories and infrastructure being targeted by Houthi attacks.

Trade flows have been significantly affected, with Asia reducing its imports by about 6 million barrels per day.
