Oil Prices Fall for Fourth Day as Supply Concerns Ease

Oil prices have dropped for four consecutive days, falling below $100 on September 22. The decline follows a period of volatility sparked by a Houthi attack on the Saudi capital. Prices are now retreating as crude flows remain "surprisingly strong" and Saudi Arabia increases Gulf oil exports following a pipeline attack. Traders are currently balancing these supply gains against ongoing Middle East risks and hopes for renewed diplomacy between the U.S. and Iran.
