The Story in Brief
Brent crude fell to around $87 per barrel, extending its decline, NDTV Profit reports. The drop comes as Iran and Oman have not yet reached an agreement to reopen a crucial waterway, despite earlier optimism that a deal was near. Crude oil continues to flow from the Persian Gulf region. Traders are watching for further developments on the waterway access.

For Indian consumers, the real test is whether domestic fuel prices follow crude down. If pump rates stay high despite Brent at $87, the narrative about geopolitics driving costs wears thin.
