Oil Declines as Markets Await US-Russia Diesel Deal and Supply Fears Ease
Brent crude fell 0.65% to $105.96 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate rose 0.70% to $94.40, as traders monitor the possibility of a diesel deal between the US and Russia.

Benchmark Brent crude fell 0.65% in Tuesday's trading to $105.96 a barrel for December contracts, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose 0.70% to $94.40 for November contracts, according to Reuters.
The decline came as traders monitored the possibility of an agreement between the United States and Russia regarding diesel supplies, which could ease some pressure on refined oil product markets.
This was offset by ongoing concerns over potential disruptions to Middle East supplies, following recent attacks that raised market anxiety over the continuous flow of crude.
Oil trades between geopolitical pressures driving prices higher and signs of improved supplies pulling them down, leaving trading dependent on the progress of negotiations and any escalation in the region.
