Oil extends slide to a sixth session, with Brent dropping below $100 a barrel amid US-Iran talks hopes
Brent extends a six-session decline, slipping below $100 as traders price in improved supply prospects: reports Saudi Arabia restarted the east-west pipeline and potential progress in US-Iran talks reduces near-term geopolitical supply risk. The move signals easing risk premia in crude after conflict-driven inflation pressures, with spillovers to inflation-linked macro expectations and energy-sensitive assets. Concurrent dollar strength on rate-hike expectations adds a headwind to commodities.
