Oil prices fell by nearly two dollars per barrel due to diplomatic efforts in the Middle East, yet remain close to six-month highs. Brent crude closed down by $1.93 at $113.88, while WTI dropped $1.86 to $99.90. The decline is linked to renewed diplomatic talks aimed at resolving the US-Israel-Iran conflict, although a peace agreement remains uncertain. Iranian officials met to discuss cooperation and security, but risks persist due to Houthi attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure. Analysts note that while diplomatic developments may reduce risk premiums, ongoing military tensions keep the market vulnerable. Investors are also watching Israeli elections, which could impact regional dynamics.
