Mar-25-2026

Crude oil futures settled higher on Tuesday as the Iran conflict showed no signs of ending imminently, fueling fears of a massive disruption to global energy supplies. Investors weighed new developments in Iran, after President Trump suggested the US and Iran were negotiations, while the Pentagon reportedly plans to send elite troops to the region in an effort to clear the Strait of Hormuz. 

Benchmark crude oil futures for May delivery increased $4.22 or 4.79% to settle at $92.35 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude for May delivery rose $4.55 or 4.55% to settle at $104.49 a barrel on London's Intercontinental Exchange.
