Trump extends Iran ceasefire on the first day: Hormuz docks 2 ships, oil prices near 100, U.S. stocks close lower

CNBC combines three reports: On April 22, after Trump extended the Iran ceasefire and maintained the blockade of Hormuz, the IRGC seized two cargo ships. Market oil prices are approaching $100 per barrel, and U.S. stocks closed down about 0.6%. The extension of the ceasefire is seen as a negotiating window rather than the end of hostilities, and maritime risks remain. Shipping around Hormuz is nearly at a standstill; Brent is near $100 and WTI is above $90.
