Oil Falls on US-Iran Talks
Oil prices fell on Friday. The US and Iran may end the war. Brent oil could drop 20% this month. That is a big drop. Gas in the US is cheaper now too.
The war started on 28 February. The US and Israel attacked Iran. Iran then closed a key sea path. Many oil ships use this path. Oil prices jumped fast.
Gas still costs much more than before. Oil bosses warn that prices may rise again. Ships are still trapped at sea. Experts say oil may take weeks to settle.
