Global oil prices plummeted below $80 per barrel after US President Donald Trump announced that Washington is in talks with Iran. The move marked a significant shift in diplomatic efforts, easing concerns of regional tensions and potential military conflicts.

The price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell by 3.2 percent to $79.98 per barrel on July 28, while Brent crude dropped 3.7 percent to $85.10 per barrel. Analysts attributed the market changes to geopolitical events, demand expectations, and the pace of global output recovery.

Trump's statement came as southern Iran remained calm for the third consecutive night without US strikes. The development was seen as a positive signal, leading to a decline in oil prices from their recent highs. However, traders warned that prices could rebound if talks fail or regional tensions reignite.
