Brent crude oil fell sharply by about 5–6% on November 2, 2026, trading near $106–109 per barrel amid reports of progress toward a US-Iran deal.
The drop followed signals of ongoing Qatar-mediated talks, including US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s comments that President Trump preferred diplomacy over further military action, along with Iranian indications of openness to negotiations that could ease the conflict and help reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Prices had recently hit six-month highs near $117–118 on escalation fears tied to the ongoing conflict (which began earlier in 2026), but the diplomatic hopes reduced the geopolitical risk premium, though underlying supply concerns and post-midterm risks remain.
