Oil Rises as Iran Says It Won’t Soften Strait of Hormuz Demands | Stock Market News
Oil prices climbed again as Iran refused to soften its seven-day plan for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which US President Donald Trump rejected. Brent crossed $106 a barrel and West Texas Intermediate neared $94. The waterway earlier carried about a fifth of the world's crude and gas. For Indian businesses, this means costlier fuel and freight. Watch your transport and input budgets closely.
