Crude oil prices pulled back on Wednesday, partially reversing gains from the prior two sessions, as upcoming U.S.-China talks raised expectations of a possible easing in the U.S.-Iran standoff. The move comes despite OPEC and IEA-related factors, keeping the market focused on geopolitics and supply expectations. The headline pressure is modestly negative for oil, with broader sector impact contained unless negotiations materially shift sanctions or supply risk.
