Event details
Investing.com reported Brent and WTI lower as traders weighed possible U.S.-Iran deal progress and a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The same report said continued shipping disruption kept a floor under prices.
Context
This early oil move establishes the market baseline before later deal-hope drops. The key tidbit is that prices can fall on diplomacy while still retaining a Hormuz disruption floor.
