Crude prices retreated as Brent fell 6.7% to $105.87 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate dropped to roughly $97 after Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated the administration prefers a peaceful resolution with Iran, CNBC reported. Cyclical momentum was reinforced by the Institute for Supply Management, which reported its factory activity gauge rose to 55.5 in October from 54.5 in September, exceeding the 54.5 consensus from economists surveyed by Reuters.
