Oil Falls After Iran and Israel Halt Attacks Following Trump Appeal
Brent and WTI erased most of the prior session’s gains as traders weighed a fragile pause in direct strikes and lingering supply risks.
- On Tuesday, global oil prices fell, erasing previous gains after Iran and Israel halted attacks following an appeal from President Donald Trump. Brent crude futures dropped 1.4% to $92.92 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate declined 1.9% to $89.57.
- In an interview published Monday, President Trump warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he might find himself fighting alone if he resumed hostilities. Both nations halted attacks but warned they could resume strikes.
- KCM Trade chief market analyst Tim Waterer noted that investors are not convinced the truce will hold. Varga warned that depleting global stockpiles could intensify demand, pushing Brent back above $100.
- U.S. forces disabled an unladen oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman on Monday after it violated the ongoing blockade against Iran. Tehran continues to block most shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital passageway that previously carried one-fifth of global oil supplies.
- China's crude imports dropped 29% to their lowest levels in eight years last month, helping keep a lid on prices. This decrease, alongside reduced supply from the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, complicates market stability as refiners draw on reserves.
