Trump respinge oferta Iranului pentru o încetare a focului și redeschiderea strâmtorii Ormuz

Oil prices surged at the beginning of the week after Donald Trump rejected Iran's ceasefire proposal and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude rose over 3%, surpassing $107 per barrel, while WTI increased nearly 2% above $94. The market reacted to the deteriorating prospects for normal shipping through the Strait, a key global energy route. Iran's proposal included a ceasefire and negotiations on its nuclear program, contingent on U.S. actions. Trump dismissed the offer but anticipated renewed negotiations. Regional tensions continue to impact markets, with rising energy costs pressuring inflation and U.S. Federal Reserve decisions. Gold prices fell over 2%.
