US-Iran negotiation optimism pressures oil as Wall Street futures trade mixed
Fresh progress in U.S.-Iran negotiations has boosted expectations that Middle East geopolitical risks could ease, pushing oil prices lower. Brent crude fell 2% to $79.02 a barrel, while U.S. WTI slipped 74 cents to $75.11. U.S. stock index futures were little changed in premarket trading, moving without a clear directional catalyst.
