Crude Oil Prices Volatile Amid US-Iran Tensions and Peace Talks on Iran Conflict
Crude oil prices showed volatility amid ongoing US-Iran tensions and talks to end the US-Israeli conflict involving Iran. While prices rose last week due to supply concerns and geopolitical risks around the Strait of Hormuz, they slipped over 1% recently as Iranian and Qatari officials held peace talks. Market watchers remain cautious ahead of the US midterm elections, with potential impacts on diplomatic relations and energy supply. Attacks on oil tankers and steady OPEC production targets also influenced price movements.
