Oil prices surged to their highest level since the beginning of the US-Iran war early Thursday before retreating on the strength of fresh reports that President Trump could soon resume attacking the Islamic Republic.
The price of a barrel of Brent crude, the international benchmark, topped $126 per barrel shortly after midnight ET, hours after Trump indicated that he preferred to keep in place a weeks-long blockade on Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump promised that gas prices would "go down lower."
