Oil prices fell significantly on Wednesday, marking the biggest weekly decline since 2020, according to MarketWatch.
This drop in oil prices follows a Democratic sweep in recent elections, which is expected to alter the U.S. approach to Iran policy, as reported by MarketWatch.
The shift in political control is seen as a key factor influencing the oil market dynamics, leading to the current decline in prices.
MarketWatch highlights that these developments are rewriting the 'Iran playbook,' impacting global oil supply expectations and market sentiment.
