Quick Summary

Oil prices fell below $90 per barrel following a drop on Monday and continued from last week’s sell-off due to easing tensions between the US and Iran. President Trump indicated that diplomatic efforts are progressing and suggested the conflict could end soon, which has relieved investors concerned about Middle East instability affecting oil supplies. Commodities experts at ING noted improved crude exports from the Persian Gulf but cautioned that oil prices remain sensitive to ongoing developments in the region.

Story summary

As of November 10, 2026, oil prices fell to their lowest point since late August, dropping below $90 per barrel as Donald Trump suggested the Iran war could be ending soon. This decline follows a near 6% drop on Monday and continued last week's sell-off in global markets, reflecting growing optimism over diplomatic efforts between the US and Iran. During a White House press conference, Trump downplayed the need for further military action against Iran, stating it was not "necessary" at this stage but reaffirming readiness if circumstances changed. Investors welcomed signs of recovery in oil flows through the Middle East, with crude exports from the Persian Gulf estimated to have returned to around 80-85% of pre-war levels. The relief in markets also boosted stock indices; Europe’s benchmark Stoxx 600 rose by 0.9%, while airline stocks like Lufthansa and Air France-KLM saw gains amid hopes for lower fuel costs due to easing tensions.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
