Oil hits over 1-week low on hopes of boost to diplomacy in Iran war

Дата публикации: 21-09-2026 02:51:35

SINGAPORE: Oil prices slid to their ​lowest in more than a week on Monday on hopes diplomacy in the Iran war will get a chance ‌this week amid a UN meet and as investors eyed a partial recovery in shipments from Saudi Arabia despite ongoing attacks by Yemen’s Houthis.
Brent crude futures and US West Texas Intermediate crude touched their lowest since September 10 earlier on Monday, with Brent at $101.71 a barrel by 0213 GMT, down $2.16, or ​2.08%, after settling 0.91% lower on Friday.
US West Texas Intermediate crude lost $2.15, or 2.14%, to $98.15 a barrel following a 1.58% ​drop in the previous session.
“It seems that a degree of risk premium is being removed from ⁠oil prices on hopes that a diplomatic path to de-escalate the US-Iran war may arrive this week,” Tim Waterer, chief market analyst ​at KCM Trade, said.
“Whether that hope proves to be warranted or not is another question. Time will tell.”
The WTI broke a key ​psychological support at $100 a barrel while some investors may have rolled over their positions in the October contract a day ahead of expiry to November, a Singapore-based broker said.
Iran and the US exchanged new threats on Sunday amid the stalemate, although President Donald Trump said he would be open to meeting Iranian ​President Masoud Pezeshkian, who is expected to be in New York this week for the United Nations General Assembly.
Iran has conveyed its conditions ​to mediators for re-engaging in negotiations aimed at ending the war with the US, Al Jazeera cited Iran’s security chief, Mohsen Rezaei, as saying in ‌an interview ⁠on Saturday.
However, tensions in the Middle East remained elevated as Yemen’s Houthis said they attacked “sensitive” sites in the Saudi capital of Riyadh on Saturday with missiles and drones, as well as an Aramco facility in the Red Sea city of Yanbu, a key oil export hub.
China has asked Iran to help rein in the Houthis after an appeal to Beijing by Saudi Arabia following the attacks, according ​to three Iranian sources familiar ​with the matter.
Iran, US trade threats amid Houthi escalation
The attacks by ⁠the Houthis on Saudi Aramco’s East-West pipeline have prompted the state energy firm to increase exports through the Strait of Hormuz this month and next after halting some shipments via Yanbu.
That enabled exports from the OPEC kingpin ​to recover to over 4 million barrels per day (bpd) so far in September after slumping to ​2.4 million bpd ⁠in August, the lowest since at least 2013, according to provisional data from analytics firm Kpler.
“Middle East oil flows remain surprisingly strong despite the disruption to Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline,” JPMorgan analysts said in a September 18 note, adding that the total oil flows averaged 17.1 million ⁠bpd in ​the past 10 days, just 6.1 million bpd below the 2025 average.
“The most ​notable pivot has come from Saudi Arabia,” the analysts said, as satellite data indicated Saudi oil moving through the Strait of Hormuz averaged 2.9 million bpd over ​the past six days, up from just 700,000 bpd in August.
