🚨 πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¦ Drones fired at Riyadh; Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted them

  • πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¦ The Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted and destroyed a drone over the Riyadh region, as newswires report a drone attack from Yemen aimed at the Saudi capital (08:55 to 08:58 GMT / 12:55 to / 08:58 GMT). No damage has been reported so far
  • πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¦ Brent Dec is at 112.10 vs 108.82 at Wednesday's settle and WTI Dec at 99.82 vs 97.15, with gold 4,107 and S&P futures 7,724 both lower on the day (prices delayed, / 08:49 GMT)

FO view: A clean intercept caps the immediate hit, so the read-through is a firmer risk premium rather than lost supply.

Not investment advice.
