Oil Slips With Fresh Iran Deal Hopes, Hormuz Watch Back in Focus

Oil Slips With Fresh Iran Deal Hopes, Hormuz Watch Back in Focus

Oil prices slid about 4% Wednesday as Iranian state TV reported it had seen a draft U.S.-Iran deal aimed at ending fighting and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Global benchmark Brent dropped $3.94 to $95.59 a barrel at 12:36 GMT. U.S. WTI crude was down $3.97 at $88.91. Hormuz is key for global shipping. The International Energy Agency reports around 20 million barrels a day of crude and oil products crossed the strait in 2025, nearly a quarter of the world’s seaborne oil trade. LNG shipments from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates also rely on the same route.

London, March 4, 2026, 18:41 GMT — Regular session Brent crude crept up on Wednesday, sticking just over $81 as the market weighed Gulf supply jitters against speculation of potential negotiations. By late London trade, Brent futures added 29 cents to $81.69 a barrel, swinging from $80.32 to as high as $84.47 during the session. U.S. WTI tacked on 50 cents, hitting $75.06.

NEW YORK, March 4, 2026, 13:31 — Regular session Oil prices slipped back after an early jump on Wednesday, with Brent futures down 24 cents at $81.13 a barrel by 11:18 a.m. ET, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate losing 27 cents to $74.30—a 0.4% dip. Earlier, Brent had surged over $3 to reach $84.48, but news of possible intelligence talks between Iran and the U.S. wiped out much of the rally. UBS’s Giovanni Staunovo pointed out that traders appeared to be betting on “a de-escalation.” Still, Dennis Kissler at BOK Financial flagged that heavy volumes of oil lingering offshore could leave “price volatility” elevated.

Oil prices hold near $68 as OPEC+ April supply talk meets softer U.S. inflation

Houston, Feb 13, 2026, 13:29 — Regular session Oil held firm Friday, regaining ground after a softer U.S. inflation print blunted an earlier slide triggered by fresh OPEC+ supply chatter. By 12:22 p.m. ET, Brent crude inched up 11 cents to $67.63 a barrel, while U.S. WTI stuck at $62.84. Both contracts, though, remained on course for weekly declines, still reeling from Thursday’s nearly 3% plunge. “Looks like inflation is stabilizing,” said Dennis Kissler, senior VP of trading at BOK Financial. He pointed out crude’s persistent $5-to-$7-a-barrel “geopolitical premium”—a nod to ongoing disruption risks.

  • Tesla (TSLA) Trades Above Industry Averages as Investors Weigh Valuation and Growth Bets
    June 30, 2026, 11:55 PM EDT. Tesla is trading at $420.60, up 91.3% over five years, but some numbers point to a stretched valuation. Its price-to-sales (P/S) ratio sits at 16.1x, well above the industry's 0.6x and peers at 1.4x. A separate fair value model comes in at 3.5x. Simply Wall St gives Tesla zero on its valuation checks, saying the stock doesn't stack up by earnings, assets, or cash flow. Bulls keep faith in Tesla's AI, robotics, and energy plans, supporting the high price, but there are worries about Full Self Driving and regulatory issues. The big question is whether Tesla's share price already bakes in its ambitious AI and energy goals or if investors have more to price in.
