Deutsche Bank’s Early Morning Reid, authored by Henry Allen and colleagues, highlights a sharp decline in Brent Oil as geopolitical developments ease inflation concerns. Brent crude has fallen to a four‑month low near $71.57/bbl and extended losses toward $70.81/bbl. The move is linked to positive US‑Iran talks, with investors seeing reduced inflation risks and a more dovish backdrop for global markets.

Oil slides on US Iran talks

"In addition, positive geopolitical headlines pushed Brent crude oil (-1.85%) to a 4-month low of $71.57/bbl, and this morning that’s continued, with Brent down another -1.06% to $70.81/bbl."

"That followed positive headlines on the US-Iran talks, after Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were in Qatar on Tuesday."

"Ongoing talks were then later confirmed by Vice President Vance, who said that the “negotiators are sitting down with the Iranians, with the Qataris, and with others in Doha, talking about some of the details here”."

"So the newsflow helped to bring oil prices down and ease investor concern about inflation."
