Oil prices slip from five-month highs as Trump hints at Iran talks; OPEC+ decision looms
Oil prices fell nearly 1% Friday after U.S. President Trump signaled openness to talks with Iran, easing fears of supply disruption. Brent crude dropped 68 cents to $70.03 a barrel by 0958 GMT, while U.S. WTI slipped 72 cents to $64.70. OPEC+ is expected to keep output steady in March, delegates told Reuters. About 500,000 barrels per day of U.S. production remained offline after winter storms.
