Brent crude fell by 3 cents, or 0.03%, to $102.28 per barrel during early trading. Despite the limited decline, the benchmark was heading toward a weekly drop of around 2% after gaining more than $4 in the previous session. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude also edged lower, falling 19 cents, or 0.2%, to $92.68 per barrel. The US benchmark was still on track for a weekly gain of around 0.3%. Analysts said the market was balancing signs of improving oil supplies from the Middle East against concerns about possible renewed tensions involving the United States and Iran. Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade, said traders were assessing several conflicting signals and were taking a pause after the sharp movement seen in the previous session. Saudi Arabia’s improving export outlook has provided some relief to the market, while reports of additional US military deployments in the Gulf have added uncertainty over future supply conditions. Another factor influencing prices is China’s decision to restrict some refined fuel exports in October. The move is aimed at maintaining sufficient domestic fuel inventories and could affect the availability of refined products in international markets. Oil prices had gained in the previous session following reports that Chinese refiners were suspending fuel product exports for October. The market is also closely watching developments in the Middle East, particularly the movement of crude oil and refined petroleum products from the region to international markets. Priyanka Sachdeva, head of market insights at Phillip Nova, said the $100-per-barrel level had become an important threshold for traders. She noted that concerns about vulnerable supply chains could continue to influence market sentiment. Meanwhile, the US administration has reportedly urged Germany and France to use emergency diesel reserves to help address rising global fuel prices. Reuters reported that Washington had asked European countries to release around 120 million barrels of diesel over six months. European countries collectively hold substantial emergency crude and fuel reserves that can be used during supply disruptions.
