# Oil Prices Rebound Sharply After Brutal Midweek Rout

> Brent and WTI rebounded on Thursday after both benchmarks fell more than 8% on Wednesday. Traders reassessed whether the US midterm results would bring a quick end to the Iran war, while continuing vessel incidents and reduced confidence in a negotiated settlement kept supply concerns in focus.
