Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Brent crude fell about 9% to $94.28 a barrel and West Texas Intermediate dropped 7.95% to $88.45 after the U.S. midterm elections, as investors priced in uncertainty over Washington's Middle East and Iran policy. The sharp single-session decline reflects how heavily oil markets are tied to expected shifts in U.S. foreign policy following the vote. Traders will watch the incoming Congress's posture on Iran sanctions and Middle East engagement for direction on whether the selloff extends or reverses.
