Oil fell Monday on optimism of improved supplies after President Donald Trump said that Russia and Ukraine will not be targeting<\/a> each other’s energy facilities, while Iran reached out to Saudi Arabia after Houthi attacks against the kingdom. <\/p>\n

Futures for international benchmark Brent crude<\/a> for December delivery dropped 1.65% to $102.99 a barrel. U.S.\u00a0West Texas Intermediate\u00a0futures<\/a>\u00a0for November declined 1.92% to $90.09 per barrel.<\/p>\n

“Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed. Do not break it!” Trump said in a social media statement.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a post on social media that “Ukraine supports the ceasefire, and it is important that Russia support it as well.”<\/p>\n

Prospects of more Russian energy hitting markets after a deal with the U.S. have also risen after Trump said Friday that Russia will supply more than 4 million tons of diesel to the global market under a deal he struck with Putin during a phone call.<\/p>\n

Oil prices are expected to remain volatile in the near term as the U.S.-Iran conflict continues, while the impact of Hurricane Isaias on U.S. energy producers could also hurt supplies . <\/p>\n

“The pressure on oil prices could remain on the upside as Hurricane Isaias strengthened to Category 3 with 120mph winds as it approached the US Gulf Coast, forcing energy producers to curtail offshore output,” UOB said in a note on Monday. <\/p>\n

“Separately, Houthi missile strikes on Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh airport on Sat which killed 12 people and injured over 300, have materially elevated Middle East risk premia,” UOB added. <\/p>\n
