On Monday, the Brent benchmark closed at its lowest since April 20 — to below US$100 — on renewed hopes for an agreement between the US and Iran.
It climbed by about 3.6 per cent to settle at US$99.58 on Tuesday after the US military carried out strikes in Iran, as cautiousness crept in over whether the two countries would reach an agreement to end the three-month war that would also re-open shipping through the crucial Strait of Hormuz.
At the time of this article's publication, Brent crude is hovering around US$98.
