Oil jumps after Gulf of Oman incident

Newsflash: The oil price has just surged on reports that a tanker in the Gulf of Oman is on fire.

Details of the incident are sketchy, beyond that it happened near the Iranian coast.

But markets are reacting fast. Brent crude has surged over 3% to $62 per barrel, having hit a five-month low below $60 last night.
