Oil Prices Fall on US-Iran Peace Talks, Rise After US Strike on Iran's Qeshm Island
Oil prices fell sharply on November 2 amid ongoing diplomatic talks between Iranian and Qatari officials aimed at ending the US-Israeli conflict involving Iran, easing fears of Middle East supply disruptions. Brent crude dropped over 6%, with US West Texas Intermediate also declining. However, prices rose modestly the next day after reports of a US strike on Iran's Qeshm Island raised concerns about escalating tensions and potential supply interruptions. Market analysts noted continued uncertainty due to geopolitical risks and upcoming US midterm elections.
