Crude prices fell as negotiations aimed at managing ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, according to CNBC World.

The report said crude had risen on Wednesday after Yemen's Houthis claimed they had struck a Saudi Arabian oil tanker in the Red Sea, highlighting how developments in surrounding waterways can quickly swing oil sentiment.
