Question
Brent crude jumps over 2% as reports say President Trump rejects reviving June Iran memorandum on Hormuz and sanctions relief

How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BRN00 | Reports that Trump will not revive the June Iran memorandum reduce chances of increased Gulf supply, immediately lifting Brent futures. | Upintraday | Energy market reports note Brent settling up about 2.1% at $89.70, citing Trump’s lack of interest in returning to the June agreement and continued restricted flows through Hormuz. |
| CL00 | Globally higher risk premia on Middle East supply disruptions transmit to WTI through expectations of a tighter overall crude balance. | Upintraday | U.S. crude settled up roughly 1.6% at $83.53 with commentary tying gains to Middle East uncertainty and diminished prospects for Hormuz reopening. |
| USDNOK | Higher Brent prices typically strengthen oil‑exporter currencies like NOK against the dollar as terms of trade improve. | Down1-5d | Market summaries link broad oil price gains to improved outlooks for oil‑exporting economies, historically associated with NOK appreciation when Brent rallies. |
