Baystreet.ca - Oil falls on Iran war uncertainty, US Democrats' midterm sweep

Qeshm, Iran ·

Oil prices fell 9% on Wednesday amid volatile trading, as investors await Washington's next step in the US-Israeli war on Iran after Republicans lost control of Congress in the midterm elections.

Iran lies on the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway through which a large share of the world's seaborne oil passes, so developments there quickly affect global crude prices.
