Hormuz deadlock: Where oil prices could head next as prospects for an imminent deal fade
Energy markets drew short-term confidence from indications that negotiations between Iran and Oman over a temporary shipping route through the strait are continuing, alongside expectations that near-term military escalation between the U.S. and Iran may be held in check. For now, traders are "confident that we can get to some sort of agreement, even if it may be a fudge," Modupe Adegbembo, an economist at Jefferies, told CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe" on Monday. "It may not be a great agreement, but it may be something that allows more oil and more things to flow through the Strait of Hormuz." However, that reaction will be "time-sensitive," Adegbembo added.
