Oil prices fell for a third consecutive day as recovering Middle East exports eased supply concerns.
According to CoinWorld news, international crude oil futures fell for a third consecutive trading day, as the market grew more optimistic about the recovery of crude oil export volumes from the Persian Gulf region. BankPro CEO Paul Broccardo said that market confidence in the near-term supply outlook is improving, which means oil prices may still fall further, but persistent geopolitical risks will limit the decline. He pointed out that shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains restricted, while rising tensions in the Red Sea have also intensified market concerns. Broccardo also mentioned that U.S.-Iran negotiations are currently at an impasse, which means there is still no clear path for a full return to normal regional shipping.

According to news from Bijie, the Iraqi government plans to use $58 per barrel as its oil price assumption and expects the 2027 budget deficit to exceed 40 trillion dinars. According to a member of the Iraqi parliamentary finance committee, total government spending is set at 217 trillion Iraqi dinars (about $166 billion), and crude oil exports are expected to be 4 million barrels per day, including exports from the Kurdistan region. In addition, the government is considering adjusting the exchange rate of the US dollar against the dinar from the current level of about 1,300 dinars per dollar to 1,400 to 1,500 dinars per dollar. Oil sales revenue accounts for the vast majority of government fiscal revenue.
