Oil price jumps to $106, stocks drop on uncertainty over US-Iran talks
Crude prices rallied more than three percent on Thursday, with Brent crude above $106 per barrel and WTI around $93.
Oil prices jumped and equities slid Thursday as hopes for a peace deal between the US and Iran wavered after Tehran rejected Washington’s bid to wind down the nearly four-week war.
Markets had been buoyed this week by US President Donald Trump’s announcement that strikes targeting Iran’s energy infrastructure would be postponed, adding that the two sides were in peace talks.
But uncertainty over the talks and the virtual closure of the Strait of Hormuz — through which around 20 percent of oil and liquefied natural gas passes — have cast a shadow over market sentiment.
“The market rollercoaster continues,” said Joshua Mahony, chief market analyst at Scope Markets.
Crude prices rallied more than three percent on Thursday, with Brent crude above $106 per barrel and WTI around $93.
