Crude oil prices slipped nearly 1% on August 6 as optimism over a possible agreement to restore access through the Strait of Hormuz outweighed renewed geopolitical concerns in the Middle East.

Brent crude futures edged down 0.08% to $79.46 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude slipped 0.3% to $75.00 a barrel.

The decline followed a volatile trading session, with investors balancing improving diplomatic signals against persistent concerns over security risks in the Middle East.

U.S. President Donald Trump said negotiations with Iran were making good progress, while Qatar confirmed that a draft proposal was being prepared.
