Oil’s wild ride continued late Monday as futures moved lower in post-settlement trading that took prices toward $80 a barrel after US President Donald Trump’s latest remarks on Iran sent volatility surging.
The move lower came after Trump signaled the US war on Iran could be ending soon, saying the operation was ahead of schedule as he confronted mounting pressures amid surging energy prices. “I think the war is very complete, pretty much,” Trump told CBS News Monday in a phone interview.
