“Oil prices are going down in anticipation that that amount of pressure will move the goalposts in solving the US-Iran situation. And that could contribute to lower prices. However, if that doesn’t happen and if there are new escalations between the US and Iran, it’s still possible that prices could go back up,” said DeHaan.
