Oil Prices.

Oil prices fell slightly today as markets remained cautious in the face of ongoing geopolitical tensions and uncertain economic signals. WTI Crude declined by $0.04 to $75.10 per barrel, while Brent Crude slipped $0.20 to $76.50.

The minor drop comes despite continuing concerns over potential supply disruptions in the Middle East, particularly involving Iran. Analysts note that a geopolitical risk premium—estimated at around $10 per barrel—is still factored into current pricing. However, traders are watching closely for any signs of escalation or intervention, particularly from the United States.

Meanwhile, the US Federal Reserve has held interest rates steady, though it has suggested possible cuts later in the year. This has added a further layer of uncertainty to global demand forecasts.

With regional tensions ongoing and economic conditions shifting, oil prices are expected to remain volatile in the coming weeks.
