Oil prices steadied on Tuesday following a decline of more than two percent in the previous session on Monday, August 24. Investors are currently weighing the impact of expanded and harsher U.S. secondary sanctions against Iran.
During Monday's session, both Brent and U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) fell by over two percent, with U.S. crude hitting a one-week low driven by profit-taking following a price rally over the preceding two weeks. By Tuesday at 0104 GMT, Brent crude futures edged down by 9 cents, or 0.1 percent, to $92.16, while WTI crude also saw adjustments as markets assessed the geopolitical and supply implications of the U.S. sanctions.
