SlavkoSereda/iStock via Getty Images U.S. crude oil futures turned lower after President Trump said late Thursday he was extending a pause in attacking Iran's energy facilities by another 10 days, to April 6. "As per Iranian Government request, please let this statement serve to represent that I am pausing the period of Energy Plant destruction," Trump said in a Truth Social post. "Talks are ongoing and, despite erroneous statements to the contrary by the Fake News Media, and others, they are going very well." Crude oil jumped in regular trading Thursday as the market maintained doubts about the success of U.S. efforts to negotiate an end to the conflict with Iran. The president's extension of his pause followed renewed threats to strike Iran if the country failed to "get serious" about talks "before it is too late," while reports indicate the U.S. is moving more troops to the region and Israel said it had killed the Iran Revolutionary Guard's naval commander. "A chasm still exists between Trump's comments that major progress is being seen in negotiations and that the war has been won, and Iran's indicated refusal to accept U.S. demands," Ritterbusch & Associates said in a note. Although some safe passage has been offered to a few cargoes through the Strait of Hormuz and the Saudis have stepped up exports through the Red Sea port of Yanbu, "this incremental supply remains modest compared to the disrupted cargo flow through the strait." Largely crowded out of news reporting is the impact of Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian oil shipping; Reuters calculations based on market data show at least 40% of Russia's oil export capacity has been halted . Front-month Nymex crude ( CL1:COM ) for May delivery gained 4.6% in regular trading Thursday to $94.48/bbl but has turned ~1% lower after-hours, while front-month Brent crude for May delivery ( CO1:COM ) climbed 5.6% to $108.01/bbl, its third-highest settlement value this year. U.S. natural gas futures ( NG1:COM ) settled hi...
