Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial news, as oil market digests implications of UAExit How the UAE’s decision to leave Opec could recast the Middle East UK urged to deploy EU-style ‘trade bazooka’ against Trump’s tariffs The oil price has hit its highest level in a month, following reports that President Trump has instructed aides to prepare for an extended blockade of Iran.
