Brent crude tops $106 after Houthi missile hits Riyadh airport

Brent crude futures climbed 1.8% to cross $106 a barrel on Oct. 12, 2026, the Wall Street Journal reported. The rise followed a Houthi missile strike on Riyadh's airport and doubts over Trump's announced Russia-Ukraine "energy ceasefire" as Ukraine cited Russian attacks on energy infrastructure. Sustained crude at that level usually lifts fuel costs for households.
