Oil prices fell on Wednesday after President Donald Trump said US and Iranian representatives had met for “very good” talks at the United Nations, AFP reports.
The international benchmark, Brent crude, and main US contract, West Texas Intermediate, dipped to $98.91 and $89.93 per barrel respectively in early Asian trade – well below the symbolic $100 mark they have smashed repeatedly since the Middle Eat war broke out in February.
The three-hour meeting was “very good”, “very productive” and “they have another one scheduled in the very near future”, Trump told reporters as he met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
