Oil prices rose after President Donald Trump warned that any country supporting Iran’s economy would face “tremendous economic consequences,” according to a post on Truth Social, with the move adding to market anxiety around Iran-related escalation.

MarketWatch reported that the announcement came as investors digested the implications for energy supply and risk conditions tied to the broader confrontation.

The New York Times Business similarly noted that geopolitical turmoil was driving the jump in crude prices, with bond markets remaining volatile as investors reassessed the situation.
