Iran oil sales hit two-year high amid U.S. diplomatic signals

Global oil markets are reacting to potential diplomatic shifts between the United States and Iran. Brent crude prices have declined to approximately 101.5 dollars per barrel following U.S. President Donald Trump's expression of willingness to meet with Iranian President Masud Pezeshkian during the UN General Assembly in New York.

Despite ongoing tensions and a U.S. naval blockade intended to restrict exports, Iran's oil sales reached a two-year high, exceeding 3 billion dollars between August and September. China remains the primary destination for these exports. Meanwhile, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) reported redirecting 100 commercial vessels in the 60 days since the resumption of the naval blockade on July 14.

Geopolitical instability continues to impact energy costs. In Iran, discussions regarding a potential withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) are underway. In Europe, the conflict has contributed to rising diesel and butane prices, with Spanish consumers facing increased costs due to high wholesale prices and the expiration of certain tax reliefs.
