West Texas Intermediate crude futures, the U.S. oil benchmark, had already topped $130 a barrel on Sunday as a result of the conflict. WTI futures have since fallen back, trading at $125.24 on Wednesday morning.
Other commodity prices resumed their push higher, including nickel, which touched a new record above $100,000 a metric ton on Tuesday.
