Oil up slightly ahead of long US weekend as peace efforts hold

Oil prices edged higher on Friday ahead of a U.S. long holiday weekend as “wary optimism” supported sentiment around U.S.-Iran peace efforts in the Middle East. The move appears modest and largely driven by geopolitics rather than changes in fundamentals, suggesting limited near-term downside risk but no clear resolution.
