Oil prices jumped more than 4% on Monday after US President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian proposal aimed at ending the ongoing conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
The Strait of Hormuz is a key global shipping route for oil, and any disruption or uncertainty around its status tends to move energy markets sharply, as reflected in the price jump.
Trump's rejection of the Iranian proposal signals continued uncertainty over the conflict's resolution, a factor markets have been closely tracking given the strait's importance to global oil flows.
The source material does not specify the exact terms of the Iranian proposal or provide further comment from the White House beyond the rejection itself.
Energy markets are expected to remain sensitive to developments in the conflict in the days ahead.
