The increase in oil prices occurs because Trump does not give time when the Iran war is to be over



Oil Prices Soar as the calm of conflict is increasing


With Brent crude futures jumping to approximately 103 per barrel, it has recovered its losses that it had earlier experienced due to the Trump saga indicating that the war against Iran might last a long time.The intraday low of the Brent crude futures was about 98 per barrel. Meanwhile, the benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) of the U.S. soared more than 2 percent to almost 99 closer in the session.The price increase was after Trump announced it in an interview with a host in the Fox News Radio station, Brian Kilmeade.

The statement was a change to his previous comments this week, in which Trump had indicated that the war is pretty much over.At the same time, United States Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, himself, in a briefing, said that the U.S. has already used the largest number of strikes so far against the Iranian targets.

CertiK notes that SEC crypto-specific penalties collapsed in value, falling from $4.9 billion in 2024 to about $142 million in 2025, a trend the firm attributes to shifts in policy priorities and jurisdictional focus. According to CertiK’s findings, transaction-monitoring and licensing lapses are now generating penalties that rival or exceed many prior securities cases. High-profile settlements illustrate the trend: the Department of Justice’s February 2025 resolution w...
