Oil Prices Rise After Trump Rejects Iran Proposal to Reopen Strait of Hormuz
Oil prices rose over 1% after US President Donald Trump rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume peace talks, raising concerns about prolonged disruptions to global energy supplies. Iran's offer included lifting US naval blockades and easing sanctions, but Trump deemed the terms unacceptable, though he expects negotiations to continue. Meanwhile, regional tensions persist with attacks by Iran-backed Houthis on Saudi Arabia. Despite increased crude exports from Middle Eastern producers, uncertainty over the strait's reopening keeps oil markets volatile.
