Oil resumed its rally Friday after the U.S. and Iran exchanged fire in the Strait of Hormuz, fanning fears that the fragile ceasefire between the two countries was unraveling and threatening continued disruption to shipping via one of the world\u2019s most critical oil route.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International benchmark Brent<\/a> crude futures for July delivery rose 2.26% to $102.32 per barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate<\/a> futures for June delivery added 2.06% $96.76.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington and Tehran accused each other of initiating attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, further straining a ceasefire agreement already weakened by repeated allegations of violations. The flare-up came as Iran is reportedly reviewing a U.S. proposal<\/a> to end the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. President\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>, in a call with an ABC News reporter later Thursday, insisted that the ceasefire remains in effect, saying the strikes were \u201cjust a love tap.\u201d

In a Truth Social post, Trump said U.S. forces had wiped out the Iranian targets involved in the clash, including small boats and drones. He also warned that Iran would face further military strikes if it failed to agree to a nuclear deal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Market optimism over a possible reopening of the Strait of Hormuz faded after reports emerged that Washington was preparing to resume naval operations escorting commercial vessels through the waterway, ANZ wrote in a note, adding that oil <\/strong>prices suffered a \u201crollercoaster rise\u201d as doubts emerged over U.S.-Iran peace negotiations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump later paused \u201cOperation Freedom,\u201d the U.S. naval mission aimed at escorting commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe risk of a proposed U.S. peace deal breaking down will likely keep oil markets volatile,\u201d said ANZ Research\u2019s experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Citi analysts said they expect broader financial markets to stabilize despite recent volatility linked to the Middle East, though the bank warned that the path toward normalization is unlikely to be smooth and could keep oil prices elevated in the months ahead.
