Oil heads for longest losing streak since August 2025 as Brent slips to $98.30
Crude extended losses to a sixth straight session, driven by easing geopolitical risk premia. Renewed U.S.-Iran talks raised expectations of improved Middle East supply security, while Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline restart and Aramco's plan to restore flows toward ~4 mbpd reduced concerns over disruption via the Strait of Hormuz. The combination pressures near-term pricing by lowering perceived supply risk and improving logistical flexibility.
