Oil Prices Rise as Trump Rejects Iran's Strait of Hormuz Proposal Amid Tensions
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 maintained its conditions for reopening the strategic waterway, including lifting US naval blockades and easing sanctions. Despite the rejection, Trump indicated negotiations might continue this week. Regional tensions remain high, with ongoing attacks by Iran-backed Houthis on Saudi Arabia, contributing to supply vulnerabilities in the Middle East.
