Brent crude holds near five-month high after Houthi strikes on Saudi infrastructure
Brent crude changed hands at $110.10 on Tuesday morning, just under Monday's $110.70 five-month high, as Houthi strikes on Saudi infrastructure and record tanker freight rates kept a fat risk premium in the price. China's September data added another layer: refiners drew inventories at more than 500,000 barrels a day even as apparent demand slumped.
