Crude oil price tumbles on Iran de-escalation; USO stock slips before the bell
Crude oil prices fell over 3% Thursday after President Trump said Iran’s protest crackdown was easing, reducing supply fears. Brent dropped to $64.33 a barrel, U.S. crude to $59.96. U.S. inventories rose by 3.4 million barrels last week, while gasoline stocks jumped 9 million. Tanker shipments hit 1.3 billion barrels, the highest since mid-2020, signaling supply is outpacing demand.
