Summary
Crude oil prices pulled back, with Brent falling below $91 and WTI below $85 per barrel, in line with the EIA's forecast that Brent will average around $85 in Q3 2026.
Why it moves markets
Cheaper oil eases inflationary pressure in the near term. If it continues, it would reduce the case for the Fed to raise interest rates again. A slight positive for equities.
Deeper view and what to watch
Watch OPEC+ production capacity decisions and tensions in the Middle East. Thai energy stocks tend to move in line with oil prices, while airline and transport stocks benefit when oil is cheaper.
