Crude oil prices continue to rise in the international market. Key crude oil derivative contracts rose by more than a dollar. Following the threat of attack by the Houthi armed group operating in Yemen with the support of Iran, a number of shipping companies have decided to avoid cargo and commercial ship services through the Red Sea, supporting the rise in crude oil prices.
Both key crude oil derivative contracts rose over 1 percent in late trade on Tuesday as geopolitical risk factors came to the fore. Brent crude futures were up 1.6 percent at $79.23 a barrel and US WTI crude futures were flat at $73.44 a barrel. This is the highest level recorded in crude oil during the month of December.

But the Houthis also responded that they will continue to attack US ships and Israel. The Houthis attacked a Norwegian-owned ship on Monday. Following this, crude oil prices increased by two percent.
