\"FTSE\t\tOil prices have soared throughout the conflict.\t<\/p>\n

Welcome back to the City AM liveblog.<\/p>\n

Oil\u2019s speed of decline has taken a hit this week as investors were forced to pause at the renewal of strike action between the US and Iran.<\/p>\n

Brent crude \u2013 the international benchmark for oil prices \u2013 was steadying above $73 per barrel, holding onto some of the modest gains it made in the previous session.<\/p>\n

Peace talks are set to resume in Doha as mixed signals persist over the thornier details of a deal between the two nations. But these too are clouded in uncertainty with Iran\u2019s foreign ministry claiming no talks have been scheduled for the coming days.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Iran said it had carried out a missile and drone operation that targeted US military sites in Kuwait and Bahrain as it warned further escalations would receive a \u201ccrushing response\u201d<\/p>\n

It follows the US saying over the weekend it had carried out strikes against multiple targets in Iran as a response to the regime attacking a merchant vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump said the strikes reflected Iran \u201cviolating the ceasefire\u201d and warned \u201cthere may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable\u201d.<\/p>\n

Still, despite the growing agitation, Brent crude remains on track for a near 20 per cent decline this month and 23 per cent for the quarter, as investors bet on peace efforts and expect the oil market flow once more. <\/p>\n
