Hopes for a peace deal with Iran waned on Sunday, raising the risk that the global energy crisis will drag on and leaving the U.S. to weigh military operations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

Futures tied to the\u00a0Dow\u00a0Jones industrial average fell 200 points, or 0.40%. S&P 500 futures were down 0.33%, and\u00a0Nasdaq\u00a0futures lost 0.28%.<\/p>\n

U.S. oil futures rose 2.7% to $97.97 a barrel, while Brent crude climbed 2.7% to $104.01. Gold fell 0.76% to $4,695 per ounce.<\/p>\n

The U.S. dollar was up 0.2% against the euro and up 0.14% against the yen. The yield on the 10-year Treasury was steady at 4.36%.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Iran responded to the U.S. ceasefire offer, saying talks must focus on permanently ending the war on all fronts, including in Lebanon. <\/p>\n

Sources also told the Wall Street Journal that Iran proposed gradually reopening the strait as the U.S. lifts its naval blockade. <\/p>\n

While nuclear issues would be negotiated during a 30-day window, Tehran\u00a0rejected demands to dismantle its nuclear facilities and suspend uranium enrichment for 20 years, the report said. Iran also requested the release of its frozen funds abroad.<\/p>\n

Trump soon blasted Iran\u2019s response as \u201ctotally unacceptable\u201d without pointing to any specific proposals. He earlier accused Tehran of \u201cplaying games\u201d with the U.S. for nearly 50 years, but added, \u201cThey will be laughing no longer!\u201d<\/p>\n

Analysts pointed out that Iran\u2019s position has changed little, indicating the leadership believes it has the upper hand and is unwilling to budge. <\/p>\n

Unless the Strait of Hormuz opens soon, global oil stockpiles will soon start hitting critically low levels and trigger a spike in prices.<\/p>\n

Last week, Trump attempted to break the deadlock by announcing a military effort to guide commercial ships out of the Persian Gulf. A few ships made it through the strait as U.S. destroyers fought off Iranian attacks. But less than two days later, he paused Project Freedom.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Sunday, Energy Secretary Chris Wright told CBS News\u2019 Face the Nation that the U.S. \u201cdid stop Project Freedom at Iran\u2019s request.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we militarily reopen the strait\u2014which is a challenge, it\u2019s not a one or two-day endeavor, that\u2019s an effort to do that\u2014they said, \u2018Wait a minute, wait a minute, let\u2019s make a deal. Let\u2019s make a deal, we\u2019ll agree to reopen it. Let\u2019s engage in the talks about the nuclear program, and let\u2019s make a deal,’\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The pause in Project Freedom was meant to pursue a deal with Iran, but \u201cif it\u2019s clear in the next few days that there\u2019s not a good path to a negotiated settlement, we\u2019ll go back to the military method to open the strait,\u201d Wright warned.<\/p>\n
