Oil prices jump over 4% as Trump rejects Iran's Hormuz proposal

Original: "Oil prices jump over 4% as Trump rejects Iranian proposal to reopen Strait of Hormuz" # Taco # Nacho # News # Politics

Oil prices surged more than 4% after Donald Trump rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global chokepoint for crude shipments. The move stoked fears of a wider Middle East confrontation and its impact on energy supplies, driving sharp gains in crude markets and drawing reaction across political and financial communities.

Why now: A rejected diplomatic overture on a key oil route immediately moved energy markets and raised war fears.
