Crude oil futures closed higher on Monday as concerns of a deeper escalation in the Middle East rise, as President Donald Trump signaled a potential escalation of strikes on Iran as soon as Tuesday, if the Islamic Republic’s leadership failed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Trump’s remarks came after Iran reportedly said the country had rejected a new ceasefire proposal to end hostilities with the U.S. and Israel.
