Oil Declines on Iran Deal (Bloomberg)
Not everyone was happy to see Iran sign the nuclear non-growth treaty placed in front of it yesterday. Oil and gold investors, in particular, suffered because of the deal. Brent crude fell almost 2 percent to $109.06 per barrel — and appeared to be on its way to the commodity’s biggest decline in three weeks. Gold fell to a four-month low, dropping 1.5 percent on the news. In addition, gasoline and heating oil prices fell at least 1.6 percent. According to Henk Potts, a Barclays strategist, prices fell because some of the “risk premium has been taken out.” Now investors have to ask themselves if having a safer world is an equitable trade-off for less wealth.
