Oil prices experienced a downturn on Wednesday, concluding a period of ascent. Investors are vigilantly anticipating developments concerning a potential ceasefire in the Iranian conflict, a situation that could significantly influence global energy supplies. This anticipation, it appears, coincides with close observation of the US President's movements, referring to Trump's anticipated trip to China.

Any alteration in the political or military landscape of the Middle East, or changes in relations between major powers, immediately affects crude prices. These factors remain key determinants for the future of global energy markets.
