Oil Rebounds Nearly 2% After U.S. Strikes Iran’s Qeshm Island

Oil prices climbed early Tuesday after the U.S. struck Iran’s Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz and an Iranian official said a deal to end the war was far off. Brent crude rose about 1.7% to 2%, to roughly $106.50 a barrel, and U.S. crude rose to about $98, Reuters and AP reported. Both benchmarks had fallen more than 7% on Monday on hopes for a deal. Investors are also watching today’s U.S. midterm elections.
