Energy futures moved higher as escalated tensions in the Middle East created a supply risk premium for the commodity complex. An International Atomic Energy Agency reported that Iran has installed centrifuges to enrich uranium. Meanwhile, a fire in one of the US oil platforms coupled with clashes between Israeli and Hamas lifted energy prices as well.

Crude oil surged on supply-side support. Moreover, a smaller-than-expected increase in the US crude oil storage last week added to gains.

Heating oil followed crude and Brent oil trend, climbing 0.45%. A start of the US heating season was also supportive for the commodity.
