Thursday night&#8217;s surge in prices comes as questions remain about military action in Syria moving future. Geopolitical tensions have surged (tonight) between some of the world&#8217;s largest oil producers, and the market, with concern abounding, will likely send oil prices higher,&#8221; said Patrick DeHaan, GasBuddy senior petroleum analyst. &#8220;It is too early to know how severe or how long the impact to oil prices may be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The missile strike in Syria this evening brings forth risk and uncertainty on a global scale.
