Brent crude futures for January delivery fell below $90 a barrel on expectations that fighting between the United States and Iran could end, before recovering to $90.35. According to an AA report published by Bigpara, easing concerns about oil supplies from the Middle East pushed prices lower, while conflicting statements from the two sides pointed to continuing market uncertainty.

Key figures in the oil market

Brent crude futures for January delivery reached $98.43 a barrel during the previous trading session.
Brent closed that session at $92.57, down more than 5%.
As Brent recovered to $90.35, West Texas Intermediate crude futures for December delivery traded at $85.44 a barrel.

Conflicting statements from Washington and Tehran

US President Donald Trump’s remarks about an end to the fighting contributed to the price decline. Speaking at a White House press conference, Trump said military action did not seem particularly necessary at that stage, but that the United States was prepared for any eventuality.

Trump said he saw momentum toward ending the war with Iran and believed the process could conclude quite soon. He also said talks with Iran were going well and that he hoped the process would end soon. Those remarks eased concerns about oil supplies from the region, putting downward pressure on prices.

Trump also maintained that Israel and the Middle East were protected against what he described as a threat from Iran, and that Iran could not be allowed to possess nuclear weapons.

However, Mohsen Rezaei, secretary-general of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, denied reports that talks with the United States were continuing. Rezaei called on Washington to accept the seven conditions Iran had previously announced.

The claim that talks were progressing therefore remained Trump’s assessment, which the Iranian side disputed. Continuing attacks on commercial vessels around the Strait of Hormuz are also keeping oil supply uncertainty alive.

Which price levels matter for oil market watchers?

The technical analysis identified resistance at $91.54 and a support zone at $90.60. These are the reference levels used in the report’s technical market assessment.
