Oil prices fell on Thursday after experiencing a strong intraday surge earlier in the session amid ongoing geopolitical concerns.
At the close of trading, the West Texas Intermediate for June delivery dropped 1.81 U.S. dollars, or 1.69 percent, to settle at 105.07 dollars a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude for June delivery lost 4.02 dollars, or 3.41 percent, to settle at 114.01 dollars a barrel on the London ICE Futures Exchange.
During Thursday's trading session, oil prices surged significantly amid ongoing concerns over stalled negotiations between the United States and Iran. Market remains worried about when the Strait of Hormuz will reopen and when the conflict will end.
The June Brent crude futures contract rose more than 6 percent at one point, briefly breaking above 126 U.S. dollars per barrel. This was the first time Brent crude futures had surpassed the 120 U.S. dollars per barrel level since June 17, 2022.
