Brent slips 1.3% after Trump pledges pause in Iran strikes and China resumes fuel exports

AI Market Summary
Brent crude fell as Trump signaled a pause in Iran strikes until after US midterms, easing perceived near-term geopolitical supply risk around the Strait of Hormuz, while China's resumption of fuel exports adds incremental supply to refined-product markets. These factors offset some hurricane-related Gulf of Mexico production shut-ins. Risk assets in Europe are higher and US futures firmer, consistent with reduced tail-risk concerns.
