Oil prices steady near $68 after U.S.-Iran talks; WTI firms as traders eye OPEC, inventories
Brent crude rose 0.3% to $68.22 as war-risk premiums eased but remained, while WTI held above $63 amid focus on India’s crude sourcing. Indian refiners bought 2 million barrels of Venezuelan crude for April delivery. Brent and WTI fell last week as Middle East tensions cooled. OPEC, U.S., and IEA reports due this week may shift market tone.
