Oil rises 3% as US-Iran talks stall and Hormuz flows recover

khaleejtimes.com —

Oil prices rose about 3% on Monday after US President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian peace proposal to resolve their conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with Brent futures reaching $107.30 a barrel. Brent climbed $2.98 to $107.30 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate rose $2.81 to $95.22. Trump rejected the plan on Saturday but told Axios he expects more talks this week. Middle East crude exports rebounded to 12.8 million barrels per day in September, the highest since February. The market remains in a deficit despite easing flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump backed a possible US diesel export ban to curb record prices, which Goldman Sachs estimates would raise European wholesale diesel prices by $3 per barrel weekly. Ukraine also struck Russian oil facilities in the Krasnodar region.
