Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: “Oil prices were steady this morning, with Brent hovering around $67.70 a barrel, as investors juggle rising geopolitical tension against a market that still looks well supplied.
“Talks between the US and Iran resume tomorrow, keeping traders on edge given the risk of escalation, while fresh Russia-Ukraine discussions are unlikely to unlock much extra oil anytime soon.
“Even so, prices are struggling to lift as OPEC+ debates adding more supply and the IEA flags a growing surplus and softer demand growth ahead.”
