Global oil markets remain on edge as the tensions between the US and Iran continue despite efforts from President Donald Trump to de-escalate. Iran has officially stated their demands to secure a potential treaty, and markets seem to be pricing in the uncertainty.<\/p>\n

Oil prices remain elevated at $92.3 per barrel at the time of this writing, up 4% in the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Iran States Demands<\/h2>\n

US President Donald Trump insists that they are close to making a deal with Iran. The latter has officially rejected<\/a> the peace proposal and set fixed conditions to end the war.<\/p>\n

The Kobeissi Letter\u00a0<\/em>reported<\/a> that over 500 gas stations in Australia have now run out of fuel. 187 of these have run out of diesel, while 32 service stations are out of all types of fuel.<\/p>\n

    But it\u2019s not just that. Other markets are also suffering due to the Strait of Hormuz\u2019s disrupted operations. Fertilizers, for example, are also getting increasingly expensive. Top exporters from China and Russia are also curbing their crop nutrient sales, which further tightens the supply. This comes right before the spring planting session, and could translate directly to higher food prices and skyrocketing inflation.<\/p>\n
