The failed push renewed market fears that Middle East tensions could keep global energy supplies under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brent crude moved near $104 to $105 per barrel, while U.S. WTI futures rose above $98. Traders reacted quickly after President Donald Trump rejected Iran\u2019s response to a U.S. ceasefire proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The market had hoped for progress in talks. However, the latest exchange showed that both sides remain far apart. As a result, investors started pricing in a higher risk of supply disruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-strait-of-hormuz-remains-key-concern\">Strait of Hormuz Remains Key Concern<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Strait of Hormuz continues to sit at the center of the oil market\u2019s concerns. The route plays a major role in global crude oil shipments. Therefore, any restriction or threat near the waterway can shake energy markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iran\u2019s response, reportedly sent through Pakistani mediators, included several major demands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sanctions relief<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access to frozen assets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>War reparations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recognition of Iran\u2019s control over the Strait of Hormuz<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Washington\u2019s offer focused on reopening the strait and limiting Iran\u2019s nuclear program. That wide gap has made a quick deal unlikely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-higher-oil-prices-may-pressure-inflation\">Higher Oil Prices May Pressure Inflation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Analysts warned that the collapse in talks could trigger more price swings. Oil remains below earlier wartime highs, but the latest rally shows how sensitive traders remain to diplomatic signals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Higher crude prices may also create problems for consumers and central banks. Fuel costs can affect transportation, food, and many household expenses. As a result, inflation may stay harder to control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless both sides return to talks with clearer compromises, oil prices may remain volatile. Markets will likely keep watching every update from Washington, Tehran, and regional leaders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oil prices climbed more than 3.5% on Monday as peace efforts between the United States and Iran lost momentum.
