  "account": "Petrol and diesel prices across Indian cities experienced minor fluctuations on Friday, September 11, as global benchmark Brent crude oil continued its upward trajectory. This price hike was attributed to increased fighting in West Asia, particularly a surge in strikes against Saudi energy infrastructure carried out by Iran-backed Houthi militants. Despite daily price revisions in India, fuel rates stayed the same and mirrored the last major increase of ₹2.7 to ₹2.8 per litre for petrol and diesel, respectively.\n\nBrent crude oil saw a 0.4% increase, reaching almost $110 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate crude rose by 0.9% to about $103.40 a barrel. Analyst Helima Croft from RBC Capital Markets LLC commented on Houthi advancements, suggesting that the group could project its disruptive capabilities further south in the narrowed points of the Red Sea waterway. If a full-scale Saudi-Houthi war were to resume, it could potentially drive oil prices to previously reached high levels.\n\nUS President Donald Trump expressed no regret over the ongoing Iran war, even as the conflict impacted the upcoming US midterm elections. This statement occurred amid renewed attacks by Washington against Tehran, with Iran retaliating by striking US bases in West Asia. The Houthis' progress towards coastal areas near the Bab al-Mandeb Strait added more risk to the market and heightened fears of supply disruptions.\n\nChina's increased crude purchases also impacted oil prices, with Brent crude jumping almost 80% this year, though it remains below its wartime peak of $126 a barrel. Commodities economist Hamad Hussain from Capital Economics Ltd noted that market participants might be revising their expectations for the severity and duration of the Iran war, as renewed disruption in West Asia flows could push prices back toward recent peaks due to dwindling global inventories and recovering Chinese demand.",
