Oil Prices Fall as Diplomacy Hopes Ease Middle East Fears

Original: Oil Falls as Diplomacy Hopes Outweigh Middle East Escalation Fears

Oil prices declined as hopes for renewed diplomacy outweighed fears of a wider escalation in the Middle East. The move was reported by Reuters, Yahoo Finance, Euronext and GV Wire, with traders apparently betting that negotiations could reduce the risk of supply disruptions from the region. Markets have been sensitive to any signal of either confrontation or de-escalation affecting oil flows.

Why now: Traders and commentators are reacting to oil's dip as diplomatic prospects temper concerns about a Middle East escalation.
