Oil Prices Tumble Amid Middle East Tensions and Supply Concerns

Oil prices fell on Tuesday after reaching a new high in the previous session, as U.S. President Donald Trump projected a resolution to the Middle East conflict could be imminent, easing concerns about extended disruptions to global oil supplies.

Brent futures decreased by $4.17 to $94.79 a barrel, while the U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude reduced by $3.81 to $90.96 a barrel. Both contracts experienced sharp declines before regaining some ground.

The price surge above $100 on Monday was driven by Saudi Arabia's supply cuts and fears of disruption due to the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran. However, post-discussions between Trump and Russian President Putin aimed at ending the conflict soothed market nerves.
