U.S. crude futures rose more than $1 in early Friday trade as investors grew skeptical that U.S.-Iran peace talks would produce a breakthrough. The sticking points remain Tehran's uranium stockpile and potential controls on the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil shipping route. The move reflects higher geopolitical risk premium for crude and could support broader energy markets.
