Global oil prices fell sharply on Tuesday after hitting their highest levels in over three years, following comments from U.S. President Donald Trump that the conflict in the Middle East “would be over soon.”
The announcement sparked optimism that tensions may ease, reducing fears of prolonged disruptions to oil supply.
Brent crude dropped $4.17, or 4.2%, to $94.79 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) fell $3.81, or 4%, to $90.96 per barrel. On Monday, both benchmarks had surged above $100 per barrel amid escalating conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran.
Reuters reported that prices remain under pressure as Trump considers easing oil sanctions on Russia and releasing emergency crude stockpiles to help curb rising global oil costs.
The sudden dip in prices offers relief to markets that have been grappling with supply concerns, though analysts caution that volatility may continue as geopolitical developments unfold.
