Oil rises on Iran war uncertainty after election rout
In short
Oil prices rose because traders were worried about war uncertainty involving Iran. The previous session had seen Brent settle at its lowest level in nearly four weeks.
This matters for energy markets because conflict risk can move oil prices quickly. The reporting does not say how much oil rose or whether any deal talks changed the outlook.
