Oil price down... share prices down... inevitable! So, crude oil futures were lower today as investors worried about a couple of things...
First, the resumption of talks between the United States and Iran, regarding an international nuclear pact, most likely had investors thinking that this could lead to more oil exports from the OPEC producer.
And secondly, if investors consider comments from French President Macron regarding his meeting with Russian President Putin over the Ukraine crisis to be favourable, then this would also be bearish for oil prices.
So, oil price down... share prices down... it's inevitable! But tomorrow, the US/Iran talks will be off again and Putin will be saying that Macron has it all wrong, lol.
Oil price up... share prices up! That's probably inevitable too!
