Oil declines 4% amid US Iran sanctions
Oil prices have sharply declined, falling close to 4% to their lowest levels in a week, after investors eased concerns about the impact of new U.S. sanctions on Iran. They consider that economic pressures pose less of a threat to oil supplies than a possible military escalation. This decline reflects expectations that fears of disruptions in navigation or closures of Gulf ports are diminishing, despite ongoing risks of Iranian supply disruptions, especially given the deteriorating safety of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on regional oil facilities.
