Brent prices fell 1.4 per cent to trade just below $US95, following a surge on Wednesday.“There was a glimpse of some easing in the flare-up overnight [in the Middle East]. It’s sending a signal that Iran isn’t looking to take it any further, and the US isn’t looking to take it any further from here,” said Tony Sycamore, an analyst at IG.Further underpinning sentiment was a softer-than-expected US jobs report overnight and comments made by Federal Reserve’s John Williams, who sounded less worried about inflation than feared.1 / 4Fetching latest articles
