Crude oil futures fell on Tuesday, reversing early gains, as traders weighed the U.S. midterm election outcome against renewed Gulf tensions after a reported U.S. strike on Iran's Qeshm Island. WTI December fell about 1.5% to near $95 and Brent January fell about 2% to near $102.5, while refined products rebounded on tighter supply concerns.
Crude moves feed directly into diesel and energy costs for feed mills, drying and transport, and into biofuel-linked oilseed values. Election-driven policy uncertainty and Iran escalation risk keep the market volatile.
