According to a CNN report cited by tradealpha, former U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed openness to easing sanctions on Iran regarding the nuclear issue. This development triggered an immediate and sharp decline in global oil prices. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil fell by $1.15 per barrel within five minutes, trading at $92.19 per barrel. Similarly, Brent crude oil dropped by $1.19 per barrel in the same timeframe, reaching $97.11 per barrel. The market reaction suggests that traders anticipate a potential increase in Iranian oil supply if sanctions are relaxed, which would add to global supply and pressure prices lower. The report attributes the price movement directly to the news of Trump's stance on the nuclear negotiations.
