Brent crude settled at $100.69 a barrel on Thursday, up $6.62, or 7.04%, after earlier rising above $100 for the first time since May. NYMEX WTI September crude settled at $92.19 a barrel, up $5.36, or 6.17%.

The move came after attacks by Iranian-backed Houthi militants in the Red Sea threatened to squeeze global supplies further, pushing Brent above $100 for the first time since May.
