Line chart showing WTI crude oil jumping on an Iran rejection then falling on a called-off strike.

WTI crude has round-tripped repeatedly over the past month on dueling Iran headlines, with two moves standing out on this chart. Crude jumped July 29 after Iran rejected an Oman-brokered oversight proposal for the Strait of Hormuz, then fell again August 2 and 3 after President Trump said a planned strike had been called off in favor of talks. Tuesday's price sits closer to the high end of that range.
