Oil prices fall as U.S., Iran 'framework' talks lift risk premium
The U.S. and Iran reached an agreement in principle to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, prompting a sharp sell-off in oil. Global crude and Brent fell nearly 6%, driving prices to two-week lows as traders priced lower disruption risk. Iran cautioned the deal is not yet final and that formal approval could take days. Reopening the key shipping chokepoint would reduce the geopolitical premium that has been keeping crude prices elevated and ease supply concerns for global markets.
