Oil prices jump to 74$ per barrel after Trump says Iran ceasefire over
What it means
Trump explicitly declaring the Iran ceasefire over is a genuinely new escalation signal — not just a continuation — as it closes off a diplomatic off-ramp markets had partially priced in. Historically, a sudden shift from active ceasefire negotiations to open hostility has been associated with a fresh crude oil risk premium and renewed safe-haven demand for gold in the short term. The prior chain's defense and WTI calls remain in force and are not repeated here.
