Oil at three-week high as US-Iran peace talks stall

Oil prices rose to a three-week high as US-Iran peace talks stalled, with Brent crude jumping around 2% to $107.97 a barrel. President Trump cancelled plans to send envoys to Pakistan for ceasefire talks, saying too much time was wasted on travel, and said Iran must come to the US to negotiate. However, Tehran has submitted a new proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war, with nuclear negotiations postponed for later.
