Oil prices rise amid ongoing Iran-US conflict with ceasefire talks stalled
Brent crude futures reached $126.41 on Thursday, up 5 percent for the week, as diplomatic efforts to resolve the Iran-US conflict remain deadlocked. A Pakistan-brokered ceasefire has been in place since April 8, but Iranian officials stated on Thursday that expecting quick resolution is unrealistic. The price spike reflects continued tensions including Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and US Navy blockade of Iranian ports.
