# Oil Eyes Large Weekly Loss Amid Fragile Iran Peace Hopes

> Crude futures were steady on Friday and headed for their largest weekly decline in 10 months, with WTI down almost 13% on the week. US March CPI rose 3.3% year on year, the highest in almost two years, driven by energy costs from the Iran war. Peace talks in Islamabad were set to begin that weekend.

## Why it matters

Crude and diesel prices are falling on peace-talk hopes, which eases input costs for feed production and freight. Elevated inflation and firm energy costs could still support the dollar and keep the macro backdrop volatile.
