Trump Issues Another ‘Final Ultimatum’, Oil Prices Rise

```htmlGolden Ten Data reported on April 6 that US President Trump threatened to strike Iran’s energy facilities if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened, causing oil prices to rise at the opening. The global benchmark Brent crude oil rose 0.7% to $110 per barrel, while US crude oil increased 1.3% to $113 per barrel. “Tuesday will be Iran’s power plant day and bridge day—taking care of everything at once. Absolutely unprecedented!!! Open the strait quickly.” Trump wrote in a post on Sunday morning. A few hours later, he seemed to set a new deadline: “Tuesday, 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time!” Trump had issued a similar two-day ultimatum to Iran on March 21, but later extended the deadline to April 6.```
