What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Brent crude oil futures fell more than 5 per cent, settling at US$92.57 a barrel, after Donald Trump stated he was highly unlikely to order fresh attacks on Iran as long as talks to end the war progressed. This occurred after the US midterm elections, in which Democrats won control of Congress.
