(CNA, New York, May 26) As reports emerged of a potential agreement between the US and Iran to end Middle East hostilities, the US conducted fresh airstrikes against Iran, casting a shadow over the outlook for a deal. Consequently, international oil prices closed with mixed results today. The July delivery price for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude on the New York Mercantile Exchange fell $2.71, or 2.81%, to close at $93.89 per barrel. Meanwhile, the July delivery price for Brent crude in London rose $3.44, or 3.58%, to close at $99.58 per barrel. (Translated by Hong Qiyuan) May 27, 115.
