WTI crude fell 1.09 points, or 1.15%, to $93.52 a barrel, while Brent crude declined 0.78 points, or 0.73%, to $105.80 a barrel, around 7:30 am IST.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"2\"\/>The declines followed a sharp rebound in the previous session. Both contracts had gained as much as 5% on Thursday, with Brent settling 3.4% higher and WTI up 2.7%. Brent&#8217;s close was its highest since September 15, while the gain ended a six-session losing streak for WTI, during which it had fallen 13%.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>For the week, WTI was down 6.42%, while Brent was up 2.09%.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>Meanwhile, both the US and Iran are trying to work a potential route towards ending the Middle East conflict. <!-- -->Negotiators are discussing a phased path that would see Tehran reopen the Strait of Hormuz and Washington lift its economic blockade of Iran, according to sources close to the talks.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>The Strait of Hormuz has remained central to concerns around energy supplies since the war began at the end of February. Around a fifth of the world&#8217;s oil and gas shipments have been curtailed since then, pushing prices 50% higher in March alone. The disruption has also led liquefied natural gas buyers to search further afield for new and stable supplies of the super-chilled fuel.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Thursday that the decision on ending the war rested with Washington.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>&#8220;It&#8217;s America that must choose whether it wants to end this or not,&#8221; Pezeshkian said, responding to a question in an interview aired on Thursday on Fox News.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>At the same time, fresh military activity around Saudi Arabia has kept supply concerns in focus. <!-- -->Saudi Arabia said it intercepted six ballistic missiles fired by Yemen&#8217;s Iran-backed Houthis, preventing attacks on the southern province of Taif and the Yanbu area on the Red Sea.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Saudi Arabia has been increasing crude pumping volumes through its East-West Pipeline to Yanbu, its Red Sea export hub. However, crude tanker loadings have not yet resumed, according to industry sources, satellite imagery and shipping data.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>The conflict is now nearing its seven-month mark, disrupting global oil trade and raising concerns over energy supplies.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/business\/international-business\/oil-prices-slip-1-as-traders-hope-for-us-iran-truce-amid-fresh-attacks-on-saudi-pipeline\/articleshow\/134472895.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crude prices ease marginally on hopes of US-Iran truce Oil prices eased marginally on Friday after a volatile week, as markets weighed hopes of a possible US-Iran truce against renewed risks to Saudi Arabia&#8217;s oil infrastructure.
