1510 ET – Oil futures settle lower in a cautious market as investors weigh a possible flood of oil out of the Middle East against the risk of U.S.-Iran talks running into obstacles. Energy markets are pricing a partial normalization rather than a complete return to pre-war conditions, Siebert Financial’s chief investment officer Mark Malek says in a note. He sees the market **** igning “too much confidence to a favorable outcome” and too little weight to the risks around unresolved nuclear issues and inspection disputes. “The most likely outcome is neither a breakthrough nor a collapse but a prolonged period of managed uncertainty that keeps a modest risk premium embedded in energy prices,” he adds. WTI settles down 0.9% at $73.21 a barrel and Brent falls 1.1% to $77.08. (anthony.harrupwsj.com)
