 Oil Prices Surge Amid China Stimulus and Syria Tensions


Oil prices rose on Monday due to China's plans for economic stimulus and growing tensions in Syria. China's announcement of further stimulus efforts boosted investor confidence, leading to gains in commodities like copper and zinc. 


Meanwhile, escalating concerns over Syria, with President Bashar al-Assad fleeing as rebels advanced, contributed to market volatility. As a result, Brent crude climbed 1.1% to $71.90 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate rose 1.3% to $68.04 per barrel. The increase in oil prices came alongside positive movement in other markets and gold, which saw a nearly 1% gain.
