Oil plunges 7.9% to 10-week low after Trump signals no new Iran strikes

Brent crude fell as much as 7.9% to $90.56/barrel, the lowest since August 31, after President Trump said new US attacks on Iran are probably unnecessary. The drop unwinds part of the geopolitical risk premium built into prices from Middle East tensions, but the situation remains fluid and supply risks persist.

US-Iran De-escalation: Trump Signals Reduced Strike Threat, Oil Prices Drop

US President Trump has signaled a significant de-escalation in rhetoric regarding military action against Iran, stating new attacks are 'quite unlikely' and the 'war is effectively over'. This shift, potentially influenced by Republican midterm losses and Qatari mediation efforts, has led to a notable drop in global oil prices and a recovery in stock markets. However, the US maintains readiness for strikes if needed, and Iran denies any planned talks, introducing uncertainty regarding the long-term diplomatic path.
