    April 4, 2026, 10:47 AM EDT. Oil prices surged sharply after President Trump's Wednesday address on the Iran conflict, with Brent crude climbing above $108 a barrel and WTI near $111, reversing earlier losses. Trump stopped short of providing a clear timeline to end the war, reiterating a vague two-to-three-week U.S. involvement estimate. The Dow pared a 1% drop to close down 0.4%, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq also trimmed losses amid mixed investor sentiment. Trump emphasized the U.S. impact on Iran's capabilities but deferred on securing the Strait of Hormuz, urging other countries to lead efforts in this vital oil passage. He also restated U.S. energy independence, underscoring the ongoing geopolitical risks shaping markets.
