Oil Prices May Exceed $100 Amid Middle East Tensions, Indonesian Economy Watched

Rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz, could push global oil prices above $100 per barrel. Market analysts point to increased monitoring by both Iran and the US as factors prolonging tension. Attacks by Yemen's Houthis on Saudi Arabia and the multi-national response further destabilize the region. This situation could impact Indonesia's economy through rising import costs.
