The news context
AP reported Brent at $104.32, up 4.1%, during early Thursday trading, alongside declines in European and Asian shares. The United States and Iran had not reached an agreement to end their war. Higher bond yields were also pressuring equities, so the sell-off cannot be attributed solely to oil. These are moving market snapshots, not closing prices. (apnews.com)
