That took the edge off some of the supply-risk premium across energy markets. Brent slid $1.41, or 2.1%, settling at $67.24 a barrel, while U.S. WTI dropped 65 cents, or 1.0%, to $62.24, according to Reuters. “Sharp two-way swings” could stick around, since prices are being pushed by diplomacy as much as by supply-demand dynamics, said Sugandha Sachdeva, founder of SS WealthStreet.
