Oil prices rose more than 1% on Monday after US President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian proposal intended to end the ongoing conflict, according to CNBC.
The proposal reportedly included provisions related to reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil shipments. Markets often react to developments around the strait given its importance to the flow of crude from the Gulf region to the rest of the world.
Traders appeared to price in continued uncertainty over the conflict's trajectory following Trump's rejection of the plan, contributing to the day's price gains. CNBC did not report additional detail on the specific terms of the rejected proposal.
Energy markets are likely to remain sensitive to further developments related to the standoff, given the Strait of Hormuz's role as a key transit point for a significant share of the world's seaborne oil trade.
