Crude oil is down 30.56% from June’s top

Crude has declined more than 30% in two months. Iran's nuclear deal seems to be very close to an agreement.

The nuclear deal raises the pressure

The price of crude oil has been declining since the beginning of June. From the month’s top, the price fell 30.56%. A possible deal with Iran and west countries could allow the country to raise the supply of crude oil. A more extensive supply of oil could have a negative impact on the price of the commodity. For the last few days, the price went under 90$/barrel.

Biden, Europe, and Iran

Ongoing negotiations about a nuclear agreement could seem like a neverending story, but the market’s reaction keeps volatile. Every small step in this negotiation sparks a significant activity. It is essential to know that Iran is one of the top producers of crude oil in the world, and opening the taps could rapidly raise the supply in the world.

Therefore calling to “strengthen support for partners in the Middle East region” from Biden and European politicians signals willingness to make this deal happen.
