Oil prices gain after US President Donald Trump's statement on Iran sanctions.
What happened
US President Donald Trump is considering allowing sales of red-dyed diesel instead of an export ban to offer price relief to consumers. US West Texas Intermediate crude gained 43 cents to $89.81. Continued uncertainty over sanctions and negotiations is keeping a geopolitical risk premium embedded in prices.
Why it matters
The change in Trump's consideration may influence oil prices, which have geopolitical implications. The decision could affect the global oil market and its fluctuations. The midterm elections loom, which may also impact the decision-making process.
