Oil falls below $90 a barrel amid hopes of US-Iran deal
Oil prices fall around 5 percent, to below $90 a barrel, after US President Donald Trump again says an Iran peace deal could be close.
The international benchmark Brent crude falls below $90 for the first time since April 14, while its US counterpart, West Texas Intermediate crude, falls to around $86 a barrel.
The relief comes just a day after crude surged as Iran and Israel briefly resumed strikes amid a fragile ceasefire in the war.
