Oil prices snapped a two-day losing streak on Thursday and bounced back after a 10% fall in the previous session as investors weighed fresh developments in the Middle East alongside renewed concerns over tensions between Iran and the United States.
Sentiment was influenced by conflicting signals around Iran-U.S. relations. While some reports suggested Washington and Tehran were close to a possible agreement to end the war, U.S. President Donald Trump struck a more aggressive tone on Wednesday.
