Explained in plain English

Why did oil prices rebound?

Oil prices jumped after the United States rejected an Iran peace plan. Geopolitical tensions, especially involving major oil-producing regions, can create uncertainty about future oil supply. This fear of potential disruptions often leads traders to bid up oil prices, as they anticipate tighter markets and higher demand relative to available supply.
