Source Summary
Brent crude fell to $91.61 per barrel and WTI to $85.81 per barrel after reports indicated President Trump does not plan to attack Iran "at this point." The decline followed a 7% Monday crash as reports emerged that the U.S. was open to allowing Iran uranium enrichment to nearly 4% and Iran was reportedly prepared to accept the proposal. Official sources have not confirmed these reports.
