Oil prices jump again as U.S. and Iran struggle to reach peace deal
Oil prices increased significantly, with Brent crude rising over 3% to more than $110 per barrel. This surge follows a period where prices dipped below $100 earlier in the month. The U.S. administration appears unenthusiastic about Iran's recent proposal to end the conflict, which includes Iran's offer to lift its blockade on the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for U.S. concessions. The national average gas price also rose to nearly $4.18 per gallon, up from $4.11 the previous day.
The ongoing standoff in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage for oil trade, continues to impact oil prices, with a fifth of all traded oil and natural gas passing through this region, as noted by the Associated Press.
