Oil edges up as U.S. issues 60-day license for Iranian oil imports amid Middle East conflict optimism
By

Summary
Oil prices rose slightly early Tuesday as investors monitored U.S.-Iran developments, with optimism that the Middle East conflict may end soon. The U.S. Treasury issued a 60-day license authorizing the production, delivery, and sale of Iranian oil, allowing imports to the U.S. and dollar-denominated payments. However, concerns persist that Iran could use oil profits to rebuild its military, with President Trump offering a non-committal response when asked about preventing such a scenario. Citi analysts see the 'overhang' on oil markets disappearing.
