Crude oil prices have fallen sharply.

Specifically, the price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil in the US fell by more than 5% to $69.71 per barrel. Meanwhile, the price of North Sea Brent crude oil in Europe also fell by a similar amount to $73.34 per barrel.

Crude oil prices cooled after the Washington Post reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had discussed with U.S. President Joe Biden the possibility of targeting Iran 's military, rather than its oil and nuclear sectors.

Matt Britzman, a senior analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, commented that this information has eased concerns about supply.

Earlier this month, Iran's missile attacks on Israel caused crude oil prices to surge, amid fears that retaliatory attacks would disrupt oil supplies.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) confirmed on the same day that current supply remains sufficient to meet global oil market demand.

Another factor contributing to the decline in oil prices is concern about demand in China , after Beijing failed to announce any new economic stimulus measures at its weekend press conference. Weaker-than-expected trade and inflation data in September has fueled investor fears that China, the world's largest crude oil importer, is failing to revive its economy.
