U.S. negotiator Vance said there had recently been a lot of progress in talks with Iran. Vance made the remarks on 5 month 19. Market participants reacted immediately after his remarks.
International oil prices temporarily eased after Vance spoke of progress. Selling pressure increased in some trading. Periods of reduced volatility were observed in the futures market.
Previously, a lack of progress in the talks had been cited as a factor supporting oil prices. When progress in the talks was slow, supply concerns appeared to push prices higher. This was reflected in recent market trends.
Other market reports said traders adjusted their positions while awaiting further clarity on the negotiations. Some more cautious investors maintained a wait-and-see stance. As a result, oil prices fluctuated in the short term.
Market participants expected prices to react again if negotiations made further progress or an official announcement was issued. They appeared to be watching whether remarks about the negotiations aligned with the terms of any actual agreement. There was speculation that volatility could resume depending on announcements and further statements.
