  • Crude Oil Prices Fall on Progress in US-Iran Talks and Supply Improvements
    June 22, 2026, 5:41 PM EDT. Crude oil prices dropped on Monday as WTI July futures fell 2.32%, reacting to signs of progress in US-Iran negotiations, including a temporary waiver on some Iranian oil sanctions. The reopening of the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a crucial oil shipping route, eased concerns about global supply disruptions. Temporary US authorisation allowing Iranian oil exports until August 21 contributed to the market's retreat. Despite initial gains amid regional tensions, sustained advances faded after announcements of a ceasefire extension and establishment of high-level talks between the US and Iran. The International Energy Agency warned of a deeper than expected global oil demand decline in 2024, while Goldman Sachs lowered Q4 Brent price forecasts. US crude production outlooks also weigh on prices, though ongoing Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian infrastructure provide some price support.
