Oil climbs 1% as tankers avoid Red Sea
==========
Oil prices rose 1% as more oil tankers diverted course from the Red Sea following air and sea strikes by the US and Britain on Houthi targets in Yemen. The attacks were in response to previous attacks on shipping by the Iran-backed group. Brent crude futures settled 1.1% higher at $78.29 a barrel, reaching a session high of over $80, the highest this year. US West Texas Intermediate crude futures climbed 0.9% to $72.68. The increasing tensions in the Red Sea region have raised geopolitical risks.
