The price of oil has risen again and reached $ 100 per barrel. The reason - negotiations between the US and Iran ended without a new deal, and US President Donald Trump said that he would block Iranian ports, the BBC reported.
The price of Brent crude oil rose by 7.3% - to $ 102.30, and West Texas Intermediate rose by 8.7% - to $ 104.94. The failure of the weekend talks has raised concerns that the global energy crisis will deepen.
Oil prices fell well below $100 last Wednesday after Washington and Tehran agreed to a conditional two-week ceasefire deal that includes opening the key commercial waterway through the Strait of Hormuz.
The Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's energy supplies pass, has become a key flashpoint in the war with Iran after Tehran responded to US-Israeli strikes by threatening to attack ships that try to use it.
