1510 ET – Oil futures fall after the U.S. suspended plans for major attacks against Iran, while expectations of a negotiated solution to the conflict remain in question. “Previous negotiations have failed to produce a comprehensive agreement, and any diplomatic setback could reignite hostilities and the geopolitical risk premium,” says Nikos Tzabouras of Tradu. A deal to restore traffic through the strait could lead to deeper declines, while continued shipping disruptions and new risks in Red Sea leave the door open to further gains, he adds. WTI settles down 5.1% at $80.34 a barrel and Brent falls 4.7% to $83.77. (anthony.harrupwsj.com)
