Oil Prices Decline on Russian Diesel Deal and Russia-Ukraine Energy Ceasefire Hopes
Oil prices fell amid hopes of increased Russian diesel supplies following US President Donald Trump's announcement of a deal with Russia and a proposed energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. Brent crude traded above $100 a barrel, supported by ongoing Middle East tensions and attacks on Saudi Arabia's infrastructure. While the diesel supply deal could ease market tightness, analysts and Ukrainian officials expressed caution over its immediate impact and the ceasefire's validity. US lawmakers raised concerns about the legality of the Russian fuel imports amid sanctions.
