  "summary": "Oil prices surged more than $4 per barrel on Tuesday, reaching a five-week high, as traders feared potential supply disruptions from renewed fighting between the U.S. and Iran. Brent futures climbed $4.16, or 4.6%, to $94.65 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude increased $4.46, or 5.2%, to $90.22, marking the highest close for Brent since July 24 and for WTI since July 23. The U.S. launched new air strikes on Iranian targets, putting an end to hopes that a brief exchange of fire last weekend might not signal a wider resumption of hostilities.",
