Oil falls for a fourth day on expectations for lower risk of Iran war escalation

What the coverage says

Oil prices declined for a fourth consecutive day, dropping Brent crude below $95 and extending a weekly crash of 16 percent, as covered by NDTV Profit. Both sources attribute the downward trend to expectations that the risk of war with Iran is decreasing. NDTV Profit specifically connects these shifting market conditions to strong Democratic Party results in the US midterm elections. Meanwhile, the Economic Times notes that analysts view the congressional election outcomes as signaling a lesser chance of conflict escalation, with some industry watchers anticipating an end to the war while others hold differing views.
