Brent crude fell 2.81% to $104.61 and WTI 2.37% to $100.05 after Iran and Gulf countries announced talks over the Strait of Hormuz, calming market fears of supply disruption. The IEA also forecast lower demand, adding downward pressure. However, tensions from the Yemen conflict persist, keeping the risk of supply shocks elevated.
