Brent fell more than 9% to $90.38 on Friday after Iran said the Strait of Hormuz was open during a Lebanon ceasefire. On Saturday Iran reversed the decision, saying it would block transit while the US blockade of its ports continued.
Trump said the blockade would stay in force until a broader deal was reached.
The reversal revives supply risk, so crude prices are likely to rebound from their recent lows. Renewed uncertainty keeps energy and fertilizer costs elevated for feed makers.

Iran reversing the Hormuz opening on April 18 and the US blockade staying in force renewed supply fears, a plausible driver of a rebound in WTI after the April 17 plunge.
Documents the Friday plunge to $90.38 and the weekend reversal by Iran, giving context for the move and for risk of rebound.
