  "account": "Oil prices slipped on Wednesday after Saudi Arabia offered additional crude shipments through Oman, easing concerns about Middle East supply disruptions. Brent crude futures fell 2.7% to $105.83 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate futures declined 3.2% to $102.43. The move came as US crude inventories drew less than expected, adding downward pressure on prices. Saudi Arabia is shipping crude via ship-to-ship transfers off Oman’s Sohar port, alleviating some supply concerns from attacks on the country’s East-West pipeline to the Red Sea. Analysts noted that the data did little to change the market's bullish stance, as violence continues in the Middle East.",
