@gmapublicaffairs: SOUTH KOREANS QUEUE AT PETROL STATIONS AMID RISING OIL PRICES Cars lined up at a petrol station in Seoul on Wednesday, March 4, as some South Koreans filled up their vehicles amid rising global oil prices triggered by tensions in the Middle East. While there were no signs of panic buying, station operators reported longer queues, with drivers expressing concern over possible further price increases. Analysts warned that the conflict involving Iran and the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz could push Brent crude above $100 a barrel. Brent futures rose more than 7% on Tuesday, reaching their highest level since July 2024. 📸: Reuters #GMAPublicAffairs
