Oil prices still hovering around US$80 per barrel

Oil prices have remained largely below the US$80 per barrel mark since the US and Iran signed an interim deal to cease military operations for 60 days on June 17.

It rebounded briefly on Sunday, after Fox News reported that Trump said he told Iranian officials "you won't have a country" if they tried to close the Strait of Hormuz again.

Trump also reiterated an earlier threat that the US would take over the waterway and possibly charge a toll of its own, Fox News said.

Brent crude futures rose more than US$1 to US$81.66 a barrel in early Monday trading, following the rocky start to the peace talks.

Prices have returned below the US$80 mark at the time of this article's publication.
