Oil drops amid Iran talks announcement
Oil prices declined at the start of Asian market trading following U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of talks with Iran to discuss the nuclear issue and the potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most vital maritime routes through which about 20% of global oil trade passes. The negotiations are also expected to address the security of maritime navigation, which could lead to a reduction in regional tensions. The outcomes of these discussions are viewed as a gateway to market stability, potentially resulting in increased oil supply and lower prices, or, if they fail, a return to military escalation that could drive prices up again.
