With Trump delaying a decision on striking Iran, concerns over an immediate escalation have eased, keeping oil prices stable. WTI crude remains around $74, while Brent crude is near $79, as the market continues to weigh the risk premium from heightened tensions in the Middle East. Previously, the White House stated that Trump would decide within two weeks whether to attack Iran.
