@astorinvest: Oil hit a six-month high of $116.72 a barrel on Friday, after weeks of attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels on Saudi Arabia and Iranian attacks on oil tankers near the Strait of Hormuz. Prices have eased this week. Saudi, Turkish and Pakistani security chiefs met Iranian officials in Tehran and agreed to keep talking, and oil slipped to about $114. #oil #iran #stockmarket
