> Brent crude fell below $96 and was on track for a 2.4% weekly loss, while WTI was set for a 2.5% decline. Trump said Washington would keep its blockade on Iranian oil shipments alongside sanctions, reducing expectations of an immediate escalation. Attacks on Saudi infrastructure and tanker incidents in the Gulf continued to pose supply risks.
