CNBC Markets reports that oil prices fell as a reported pause in U.S.-Iran hostilities appeared to hold.

Iran’s stance, as described in the coverage, pointed to suspending attacks as long as the United States keeps its pause in place, which reduced near-term geopolitical pressure on crude markets.

The pullback pushed Brent crude below $90, signaling lower expectations for disruption risk from the conflict.
