Oil climbs as fading US-Iran peace hopes raise supply risks
Global crude prices have surged for a third consecutive session following an announcement by the United States that it will not extend its temporary ceasefire agreement with Iran. This development has effectively stalled negotiations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime corridor that has seen traffic drop to near-standstill levels due to ongoing hostilities. Consequently, market analysts are pricing in a significantly higher risk premium as the prospect of a long-term disruption to a major portion of the world's oil and gas supply becomes increasingly likely.
