Brent Crude Surges Amid Trump’s Iran Remarks
(MENAFN) Brent crude futures climb above $110 per barrel on Monday as global oil markets respond to US President Donald Trump’s latest comments regarding Iran. His statements, mixing cautious optimism about ceasefire negotiations with renewed threats, amplify uncertainty over supply flows through the Strait of Hormuz.
As stated by reports, Brent, the global benchmark, rises 1.5% to $110.56 per barrel as of 1715GMT, continuing the sharp price swings seen in recent trading sessions. Traders are grappling with mixed signals about whether the conflict may ease or escalate further.
Trump characterizes Iran’s reaction to a US ceasefire proposal as a “significant step,” while also asserting that Washington has “many alternatives” and, if it were his decision, he would “take the oil” from Iran.
Meanwhile, Iran rejects a temporary ceasefire plan and instead calls for a permanent resolution to the conflict, according to reports. Tehran’s stated conditions include halting hostilities across the region, establishing a protocol for safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, receiving reconstruction aid, and securing relief from sanctions.
Oil prices continue to remain sensitive because the Strait of Hormuz serves as a key artery for global crude exports, and any disruption there has already tightened the physical supply of oil.
