  • Failed US-Iran Peace Talks Trigger Market Uncertainty and Oil Price Surge
    April 12, 2026, 2:53 PM EDT. US-Iran peace talks ended without agreement after 21 hours, prompting President Trump to announce an immediate blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic chokepoint for 20% of global liquefied natural gas and oil supplies. Business experts warn of rising oil, gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel prices as the conflict hampers shipping through the strait. Market strategist Marko Kolanovic predicts a potential crash due to reversed market optimism from the brief rally when a deal seemed possible. Analysts debate whether this signals a temporary setback or a more sustained market risk-off phase. The failed talks halt recent relief in energy markets, pushing prices upward amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
