Summary
Brent futures fell 1.9% to settle at $100.32 and WTI settled at $89.43, down about 1.8%. Rising Middle East crude exports and a G7 stock release weighed on prices, while worries persist over further damage to Gulf oil infrastructure as the US-Israeli war on Iran drags on.
Why it moves markets
Oil prices feed into inflation and energy costs, and therefore into rate expectations and energy stocks. Brent slipping below $102 eases some price pressure.
Deeper view and what to watch
Physical tightness persists: Dated Brent surged above $120 while ICE Brent slipped toward $101. Watch whether that gap narrows, along with developments in the war and the G7 stock release.
