what happened
Oil prices eased in early Asian trading, giving back gains made after Donald Trump's remarks that the U.S. no longer needs a deal with Iran. He also said he would prefer that Vice President Vance, who has led the negotiations, shift his focus elsewhere.
Futures rebounded right after those comments but started the day lower. Front-month Brent dropped 0.2% to $95.54 a barrel, while WTI fell 0.4% to $88.39, according to Market Talk.
why it matters
CMS Prime COO Terri-Leigh Bennett says the market is treating diplomatic possibility as if it were already physical supply, even though talks do not quickly restore infrastructure, normalize shipping or guarantee uninterrupted output. Oil is falling not because the geopolitical danger has disappeared, she says, but because traders question how much of today's price should reflect disruption that may reverse.
