A reopening of the waterway could bring millions of barrels of Middle Eastern crude back to global markets, increasing supply and pressuring prices. President Donald Trump said negotiations were advancing, although differences remained over conditions for reopening the strait. Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. reported attacks on three vessels transiting Hormuz, highlighting continued geopolitical risks.
