Woodside Energy Group Ltd's stock soared 5.27% in pre-market trading, reflecting a surge in investor interest in the Australian energy sector.

The price movement follows a significant jump in oil prices triggered by geopolitical tensions after the U.S. and Israel's attacks on Iran. Front-month West Texas Intermediate futures rose 8.4% while Brent crude oil futures lifted 8.5%, according to market data.

As a major Australian energy company, Woodside Energy benefits directly from higher oil prices, which typically lead to improved revenue prospects and increased investor demand for energy equities during such market conditions.
