Oil prices climb and stocks fall after Trump says he thinks Iran agreement over
What it means
Trump's statement that an Iran agreement is 'over' introduces a genuinely new escalation signal — raising the probability that sanctions remain in place or intensify, which has historically been associated with crude oil price increases. Broad equities tend to see short-term pressure when oil spikes sharply on geopolitical news. The prior signals already captured a general Hormuz risk premium, but a breakdown in negotiations is a new, distinct catalyst.
