Oil fell in the Asian session, reversing earlier gains after President Trump
said the US no longer needs a deal with Iran and said he wants the vice
president to shift focus to other matters. CMS Prime COO Terri-Leigh Bennett
said markets appear to be pricing diplomatic possibilities as if they already
equate to physical supply, even though negotiations will not immediately repair
infrastructure, normalise shipping or guarantee uninterrupted production. She
added the drop does not mean geopolitical risk has disappeared; traders are
testing how much of a potential reversal of disruption is already reflected in
prices.
