Oil prices plunged 4% yesterday after media reported that Trump would most likely withdraw from the Iranian deal with the nuclear program.
The question now is how quickly Trump sanctions will be imposed on Iran and whether this will meet market expectations.
According to a report by The New York Times, President Trump has told French President Emanuel Macron that he will restore sanctions to Iran and will impose additional economic sanctions.
Macron has denied this information, quoted by Reuters.
Oil prices will continue to be extremely volatile and to be influenced by news related to Washington-Iran relations.
The Brent lost 2.3 percent of its value to $74.42 a barrel, while US crude futures fell 2.8 percent to $68.73 a barrel.
