Brent crude falls below $90 a barrel for first time in a week

ActionForex reports Brent dropped from about $92 per barrel, with European gas prices moving independently of crude after renewed conflict expectations eased.

Brent crude moved back below $90 per barrel for the first time in a week, after trading around $92 per barrel earlier, according to market commentary from ActionForex.

The report links the pullback to a New York Times report that the United States is preparing to send diplomats back to Middle East embassies, a development it says points to lower expectations of conflict renewal.

ActionForex also notes European gas prices have decoupled from crude, highlighting different pricing dynamics across energy markets as crude weakens.
