  "account": "Oil prices experienced a decline on Monday as investors anticipated increased Russian energy supplies following a reported agreement between Ukraine and Russia to cease attacks on each other's energy facilities. The deal was announced by US President Donald Trump, who also disclosed that Russia would provide over 300,000 metric tons of diesel to US and global markets, with additional shipments in November and afterward.

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East, including attacks on Saudi Arabian infrastructure and the threat of further attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, continued to support Brent crude prices above $100 a barrel. Despite Goldman Sachs raising its December 2026 Brent crude price forecast to $90 a barrel, analysts cautioned that continued Middle East supply adaptation and potential renewed escalation posed significant net upside risk.",
