Oil price hikes as White House says plans for Iran talks still 'fluid'
Media/ Social Media
March 24 (UPI) -- The price of oil climbed back above $100 per barrel on Tuesday as hopes for de-escalation in the Iran war faded after Washington said the situation remained "fluid," Tehran denied there had been any negotiations and a fire put a major Texas refinery out of action. Claims by President Donald Trump of "major" progress in talks to halt the conflict on Monday sent oil prices tumbling and rallied stock markets, but benchmark Brent crude futures rebounded to more than $103 a barrel
