Oil Prices Fall Amid US-Iran Diplomacy Hopes and Saudi Export Recovery
Oil prices declined to their lowest levels in over a week amid hopes for diplomatic progress between the US and Iran and a partial recovery in Saudi Arabian crude exports. Despite ongoing missile and drone attacks by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis targeting Saudi facilities, Saudi Arabia increased shipments through the Strait of Hormuz after disruptions to its East-West pipeline. Analysts noted that Middle East oil flows remain strong, easing supply disruption concerns, while US-Iran talks at the UN General Assembly are closely watched for potential impact on regional tensions.
