# Oil prices fall as supply concerns ease on hopes for US-Iran talks - CNA

> Oil prices fell on 14 April as signs of possible talks to end the US-Israeli war on Iran eased supply risks tied to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Brent slipped about 0.6% to US$98.74 and WTI fell 2.3% to US$96.78. The IEA said March saw the largest oil supply disruption in history, with 10.1 million barrels per day lost, and expects demand to slump sharply in the second quarter.

## Why it matters

Crude prices feed directly into diesel, fertilizer and freight costs for feed production and transport, and biofuel demand for soybean oil. Talks-driven declines lower energy input costs but physical supply losses limit how far the price can fall.
