Trump denies Iran sanctions relief while oil prices fluctuate

U.S. President Donald Trump denied claims of offering sanctions relief to Iran for changes to its nuclear program, calling an Axios report a 'HOAX.' Brent crude prices dropped 0.31% to $102.27 per barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures fell 0.47% to $88.96 per barrel. These price movements come amid Qatar's ongoing efforts to mediate peace talks between the U.S. and Iran, with discussions regarding the Strait of Hormuz expected. This matters for investors as fluctuations in oil prices directly affect the energy market and related investments.
