NY crude falls to $96 on US-Iran talks optimism

news.yahoo.co.jp (Japanese) —

NY crude oil futures fell for a second straight session on Tuesday, with the December contract for West Texas Intermediate closing at $96.09 per barrel, down $0.37. The decline was driven by optimism over progress in US-Iran talks to end hostilities, which eased supply concerns and prompted selling. However, losses were limited after reports of a US limited attack on an Iranian island near the Strait of Hormuz triggered some buying. The market remains sensitive to geopolitical developments in the region, with traders weighing diplomatic efforts against potential supply disruptions.
