  "account": "Danske Bank's research team has pointed out a significant jump in Brent prices due to escalating Middle East tensions. Brent has surged above USD 107/bbl, with the team warning that the closure of Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline could jeopardize up to 4% of global oil supply. The team anticipates that markets will remain vigilant for disruption risks and the restoration timeline. Brent prices jumped around 3% at the start of trading, following news of new strikes on Saudi Arabia, attacks on vessels near the Strait of Hormuz, and the shutdown of the East-West pipeline. This pipeline is a crucial export route that circumvents the Strait of Hormuz, with its closure potentially putting up to 4% of global oil supply at risk. Meanwhile, the ongoing tensions with the Houthis around the Bab el-Mandeb Strait have added to concerns over another vital transit route. With a scheduled Gulf-Iran meeting postponed, markets are expected to stay focused on potential further disruptions and the speed at which the East-West pipeline can resume operations.",
