Oil eases from six-month highs as Iran diplomacy hopes grow: Oct 27, 2026
Oil has eased from six-month highs to $114 while holding above $100 as mediation efforts and hopes for diplomacy around Iran, including a called-off U.S. strike, eased immediate supply worries. Traders remain focused on the Middle East conflict, including the threat of new U.S. strikes and Saudi attack risks, which sustain a risk premium alongside concerns about demand destruction.
