Oil Prices Fluctuate Amid US-Iran Tensions and Ceasefire Mediation Efforts
Oil prices showed mixed movements amid ongoing US-Iran tensions and diplomatic efforts.

Brent crude fluctuated around $88 to $90 per barrel, reflecting cautious investor sentiment balancing conflict escalation with hopes for a diplomatic resolution. The situation remains volatile with potential impacts on global energy supplies and trade routes.
