What happened

Few deals from Trump’s trip and no progress on Iran send global markets into a sell-off U.S.

Why it matters

crude oil jumped to more than $105 a barrel, a gain of 9% in just a week.

Common ground

Government bonds around the world sold off sharply Friday as the price of oil jumped, both driven by an array of geopolitical developments in the Iran war, politics and trade.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
