LAHORE: Internationally, the price of Brent crude oil has fallen by 44 cents to $94.49 per barrel. According to details, after the ongoing talks between Iran and the United States, there have been expectations of an improvement in the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, the effects of which are also being seen on the global oil market.

Economists say that the possibility of a decrease in tension in the region has reduced investors’ concerns, resulting in a relaxation in oil prices.

On the other hand, the American West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil was also seen trading at $90.59 per barrel after a decrease.

This decrease in prices in the global market is being described as a significant development in the energy sector.

It should be remembered that Brent crude oil is used as an important benchmark in the global market, according to which oil prices are determined in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

According to analysts, if diplomatic efforts in the region continue in the same way, further stabilization or decline in oil prices is possible in the coming days; however, global demand and supply factors may also affect this.
