Scott Bessent sends strong message on oil price and Iran thestreet.com
Oil prices are witnessing upward momentum, propelled by a delicate ceasefire between the US and Iran, which faces significant skepticism. Per the full note from ing-think, the US-Iran temporary ceasefire has been fraught with challenges, highlighted by delays in negotiations and heightened rhetoric around the Strait of Hormuz. Notably, the market is reacting to speculators significantly trimming their net long positions in ICE Brent, now at its lowest since December 2025, with shorts entering amid uncertainty. This backdrop provides a complex setting for oil and currency pairs linked to energy prices ahead of potentially volatile developments in the US-Iran talks.
