Oil markets firm as Hormuz tensions persist; talks continue

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Geopolitical tensions around Hormuz historically lift crude prices via risk premium; sustained talks can cap upside if progress appears, but any escalation tends to push BNO higher. Similar past episodes in 2019-2020 showed oil ETFs rallying on Middle East risk events even without supply outages.
