Crude Prices Dip Below $75 Amid Ceasefire Talks Between Israel and Hamas The price of US West Texas Intermediate crude oil experienced a significant drop, falling more than 2% to dip below $75 a barrel. This decline came amid emerging reports of a possible ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, potentially easing recent geopolitical tensions. Bloomberg has indicated that negotiations aimed at halting the conflict and securing the release of civilian hostages held by Hamas are making progress, though these talks are still in the preliminary stages without immediate expectations for a resolution. Concurrently, Al Jazeera reported Qatar’s announcement that Israel has consented to a ceasefire proposal, introducing a hopeful outlook for an end to the hostilities. These developments have influenced oil markets, as traders react to the potential for decreased geopolitical risk in the region. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Gold Holds Above $2,500: Safe-Haven Appeal Strengthens READ MORE Gold Standard Could Be the Key to Ending Price Volatility, Fed Study Suggests READ MORE Emerging Market Debt Issuance Hits Record High in January READ MORE Defying Expectations: Gold's Rally in a Strong Economic and Stock Market Environment READ MORE Gold Shines in Short-Term as Copper Holds Mid-Term Appeal, Deutsche Bank Survey Finds READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
