WS #15760
Oil prices have retreated as the US temporarily lifts sanctions on Russian diesel exports in a deal aimed at easing energy markets. This supply-side relief has counteracted fears of Gulf disruptions, leading to a drop in WTI and Brent crude. The development dampens the bearish signal for the broader index that was previously driven by Middle East escalation, though it remains a mixed signal for energy producers versus refiners and airlines.
