Oil prices fell sharply on Thursday, erasing all gains since the Middle East conflict began as progress in U.S.-Iran talks and improving flows through the Strait of Hormuz eased supply disruption fears. The move is negative for crude and energy-linked assets, with geopolitics and supply expectations driving the reversal. The drop has potential market-wide spillovers given oil's role in inflation and risk sentiment.
