The Brent crude oil price surged by $5.36 per barrel to reach $89.92 per barrel at 09:00 GMT, driven by dwindling hopes of a swift de-escalation between Washington and Tehran.

Iran's announcement of six preconditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, including demands for compensation from the US for war-related damages, has put upward pressure on oil prices this week.

ING Bank analysts noted that the oil market remains highly sensitive to headlines, leading to price whipsaws. They also highlighted the swift fading of optimism as Iran's preconditions and President Trump's rejection of them took center stage.
