  • Oil prices rose after a previous sharp decline, with Brent crude nearing $93.16 per barrel and WTI crude at $89.60.
  • Prices had fallen over 11% last week amid hopes for a peace deal and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Reports indicate that U.S. President Donald Trump returned a revised memorandum to Tehran with stricter negotiation terms, potentially impacting the market.

Oil prices experienced an uptick, reversing a significant decline seen the previous week. Benchmark U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose 2.5% to $89.60 per barrel. Meanwhile, Brent crude for August delivery hovered around $93.16 per barrel, marking a 2.2% increase from Friday's closing price.

Last week, oil prices had dropped by more than 11%, fueled by expectations of an imminent peace agreement and the potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil transport. However, market sentiment shifted over the weekend.

Reports from U.S. media outlets, including The New York Times, revealed that U.S. President Donald Trump presented Tehran with a new version of a potential deal memorandum. This revised document reportedly includes tightened conditions on several negotiation points, potentially altering the outlook for a resolution and influencing oil market dynamics.
