Oil hits over 1-week low on hopes of boost to diplomacy in Iran war

  • Oil prices gained for the first time in five sessions on Tuesday as investors awaited potential US-Iran talks at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The October contract for West Texas Intermediate climbed 87 cents to $96.65 a barrel.
  • Tehran and Washington exchanged threats on Sunday, though President Donald Trump said he would be open to meeting Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian this week. Iran also conveyed conditions to mediators for re-engaging in negotiations, according to Al Jazeera.
  • KCM Trade chief market analyst Tim Waterer noted the price increase appears to be a "typical short-covering bounce" rather than a fundamental shift. Separately, G7 ministers on Monday called on Iran to cease arming the Yemeni Houthis, citing recent attacks on Saudi infrastructure.
  • An armed group closed a valve on Libya's Sharara crude pipeline on Monday, causing a significant production decline. Saudi Arabia increased exports through the Strait of Hormuz after attacks on its East-West Pipeline forced shipment changes.
  • ING commodity analysts Warren Patterson and Ewa Manthey reported speculative market players ramped up long positions on Brent by 16,904 in the week to September 15. Investors continue to price in greater upside risk from Middle East supply disruptions.
