Brent Falls Below $100 as U.S.-Iran Talks Keep Hormuz in Focus
Brent crude fell below $100 a barrel at the week's open, dropping 4.5% to $99, as investors reacted to uncertain U.S.-Iran negotiations that have kept the Strait of Hormuz at the center of supply concerns.
The talks have shown progress toward a draft understanding tied to reopening the waterway, but no agreement has been signed and the White House has said approval could still take several days. U.S. officials say any final deal must address Iran's enriched uranium stockpile and keep Hormuz open without tolls, while Iranian officials say the nuclear issue is not part of the preliminary arrangement and warn that disagreements over frozen assets and other clauses could still derail an accord.
