Oil Price Decline Driven by Iran Nuclear Talks and Market Risk-Off

Bloomberg Markets •
×

West Texas Intermediate steadied below $63 a barrel, Brent crude ended above $67, marking the first back-to-back weekly drop in oil prices this year. The decline reflects a risk-off tone in global markets, concerns about a potential crude glut, and the prospect of prolonged US-Iran negotiations over a nuclear deal. Asian stocks were set for further losses Friday following Wall Street's fresh declines and across-the-board commodity weakness. This oil market shift signals broader investor caution amid geopolitical uncertainty and supply-demand imbalances.
