Crude Oil Prices Plunge 8% After Democratic Midterm Victory
Crude oil prices plunged over 8% overnight, with Brent Crude closing near $95 and WTI falling towards $88. The drop was driven by the Democrats' midterm election victory, which increased pressure to end the war with Iran. Vice President JD Vance and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer both emphasized the need to end the conflict. Former President Donald Trump also acknowledged the war's impact on the Republicans' defeat. US stockpiles of distillates fell below 100 million barrels, the lowest level since 2003.
