Oil steadied above a four-year low as traders weighed the latest U.S. moves in a trade war, as well as "constructive" talks between Washington and Tehran.
Brent traded below $65 a barrel after a week of losses while West Texas Intermediate neared $62. While President Donald Trump paused tariffs on some electronics, he also indicated that specific tariffs would be announced in due course.
Meanwhile, easing tensions with Iran could offer the prospect of increased supply. The weekend talks in Oman marked the first high-level engagement since 2022, and signaled renewed efforts to resolve a years-long standoff over Tehran's nuclear program. The two sides agreed to meet again. (Newsmaker23)
