US-Iran Deal Rumors Send Oil Prices Tumbling Amid Jobs Report Jitters
Oil prices plummeted on Thursday amid rumors of a potential US-Iran deal. The market is highly sensitive to developments in global politics, particularly those related to oil-producing countries.
The news sent Brent crude futures down by over 3%, reaching around $74.50 per barrel. WTI crude also fell, dropping to about $67.20 per barrel.
The drop in oil prices comes ahead of the highly anticipated jobs report on Friday, which is expected to have a significant impact on markets. However, it's unclear how much influence this will have on oil prices, given the current market sentiment driven by US-Iran deal rumors.
