Recent attacks in the Middle East have sent ripples through global energy markets, driving up both oil and gas prices. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil transport, is at the center of the concerns.
Brent crude oil traded at $109.90 a barrel at 11:45 a.m. Friday, a 2.2 percent increase for the day.
The price has rebounded somewhat after a sharp increase on Thursday was followed by a decline later in the day.
