Oil prices spiked and global markets plunged after Donald Trump’s prime-time address to the nation Wednesday failed to outline a clear path to ending the Iran war.
Trump’s speech provided no certainty as he claimed the war was a resounding success but admitted that the US would remain engaged for at least another two to three weeks.
Brent crude oil prices jumped nearly 5 percent to $105 per barrel amid fears the US was no closer to eliminating Iran’s stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz.
