Show Notes
Oil prices plummeted today as talks between the US and Iran raised hopes for easing Middle East tensions. Brent crude settled at $99.94, down $12.25, while WTI closed at $88.13, down $10.10. This follows recent highs not seen since July 2022. Prices had surged due to conflicts disrupting oil supplies and shipping routes. Futures volatility soared, with gasoline and diesel also dropping around 10%. President Trump hinted at a quick deal, but Iran denied negotiations. The crisis has cut Middle East oil production by 7-10 million barrels per day, worse than the 1970s shocks. Global markets are feeling the strain, with central banks monitoring inflation and air travel grounded. As talks remain uncertain, traders await the next move in this volatile situation.
