Saudi Arabia restarts East-West Pipeline as oil prices fall

Oil prices have declined, with Brent crude falling below $100 per barrel, driven by improved supply prospects and diplomatic optimism. Saudi Arabia has resumed operations on its strategic East-West Pipeline, which connects eastern production regions to the Red Sea port of Yanbu. The pipeline, which can divert approximately 4 million barrels of oil per day, had been shut down on September 11 following drone attacks. This resumption provides a critical alternative to the Strait of Hormuz.

Market sentiment is also being influenced by potential diplomatic breakthroughs between the United States and Iran. Donald Trump reported that US envoys held productive talks with Iranian mediators in New York, raising hopes for a resolution to the ongoing conflict. Additionally, Iraq has reported increased oil exports, exceeding 3 million barrels per day, further contributing to the rising global supply outlook.
