According to OilPrice, Donald Trump has temporarily put on hold the question of possible strikes on Iran as the market also reacts to fresh risks to oil supply.
The core message of the report is that the energy market is caught between two pressure points: tensions in the Middle East and a hurricane threat that could affect supplies.
Against that backdrop, the oil market is becoming especially sensitive to both military escalation and weather-related disruptions. Any supply interruption could quickly feed into prices and trading expectations.
The OilPrice report suggests market participants are watching both decisions in Washington and weather risks that could restrict oil flows.
It is another reminder that the global oil market can be driven at the same time by geopolitical decisions and natural threats, with that combination adding to uncertainty across the energy sector.
