Crude prices rebounded sharply after renewed attacks on Middle East shipping and a larger-than-expected draw in U.S. crude inventories reignited supply concerns.

Houthi attacks on vessels in the Red Sea and threats near Hormuz have pushed freight and insurance costs higher, with traffic through the strait — which normally
