# Brent Set for Sharp Weekly Decline

> Brent traded near $99 per barrel and was on track for a roughly 13% weekly loss as markets anticipated a possible faster resolution to the Iran conflict after Democrats won both chambers of Congress. Gulf crude exports had recovered close to pre-war levels, though tanker incidents and elevated transport costs continued to signal shipping risks.

## Why it matters

Improving crude export flows and prospects for de-escalation ease supply concerns and pressure crude prices, while persistent maritime risks could limit the decline. Lower crude prices can reduce energy and freight costs for feed supply chains.
