Oil Retreats as Fears of Prolonged Middle East Supply Disruptions Ease -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-10 15:44

0741 GMT - Oil prices retreat sharply, extending losses from the previous session after President Trump said the war in Iran will end "very soon." Brent crude falls 8.1% to $90.92 a barrel, while WTI is down 7% to $80.56 a barrel, after both benchmarks hit their highest levels since 2022. "Trump's words will only go so far," analysts at ING say. "Ultimately, the market will need to see a resumption of oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz to sustain a move lower in oil prices." Trump also said the U.S. would be removing oil-related sanctions on certain countries as a way to lower ​prices. However, analysts say that relaxing sanctions on Russia would probably do little to boost global supply, given the country has already been navigating around existing restrictions.
