In a volatile 2026 trading session, Brent crude rebounded to $101.93 as investors weighed the 2026 prospects of a Middle East peace deal. Despite initial 2026 optimism, President Trump’s cautious stance on direct talks with Tehran pushed prices higher. 2026 reports suggest that while a one-page memorandum to end the conflict is nearing completion via Pakistani mediation, core issues like the Hormuz reopening remain unresolved. 2026 market data indicates that supply shortages will persist throughout the summer, as reflected in the 2.3 million barrel drop in 2026 U.S. crude inventories.
