Woodside Energy Group Ltd's stock soared 6.10% intraday on Monday, driven by a surge in oil prices.
The jump in oil prices followed the U.S. and Israel's attacks on Iran, fueling a buying spree in Australian energy equities. Front-month West Texas Intermediate futures rose 8.4% to $72.65 a barrel, while Brent crude oil futures lifted 8.5% to $79.08 barrel, according to ICE data.
Woodside Energy, as a major Australian energy company, benefits from higher oil prices, leading to increased investor interest and stock price appreciation.
