Rising oil prices are affecting markets. Stocks have fallen for a fourth consecutive day, with the S&P 500 experiencing its longest losing streak since June. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq composite also declined.

Brent crude has surged, reaching levels not seen in months. It briefly exceeded $108 per barrel before settling at a lower price. This increase is attributed to disruptions in global crude flow.
