  "summary": "Oil prices edged higher on Monday, inching closer to six-month highs, as tensions in the Middle East persisted following attacks on Saudi Arabia. Brent crude futures rose 49 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $117.21, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell 35 cents, or 0.34 percent, to $102.92 per barrel. The price movements were influenced by concerns over the escalating tensions in the region, particularly after the Houthis struck pumping stations and Riyadh airport. Saudi Arabia has responded with intercepting additional missiles and drones, and a Saudi-led coalition claimed to have destroyed three drones targeting the kingdom. The diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict are ongoing.",
