Brent news for September 27, 2026
Oil prices slid about 2% in a volatile week as headlines described the U.S. and Iran exploring a path out of war, while other reports said Iran no longer trusts talks with Washington and that the two sides have moved further from a deal. The Strait of Hormuz remains central for crude, with lingering tensions noted and commentary that the risk premium could unwind fast if traffic recovers. Broader markets steadied into the end of the week as U.S. stocks rose and yields subsided.
