What happened

Hello, this is Hui Jie writing to you from Singapore.

Why it matters

Welcome to another edition of CNBC's Daily Open.

Common ground

President Donald Trump is apparently not bothered by "boring" negotiations with Iran falling apart, further clouding the outlook for a solution to the Mideast conflict and sending oil prices higher.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
