Brent Crude Oil fell 87 cents to $105.73 a barrel during Friday morning trade, cooling from a weekly high after a round of peace talks. The pullback follows a volatile week marked by a 5% surge in both major contracts due to Middle East supply fears. The recent dip contrasts with persistent regional risks that continue to threaten critical energy infrastructure.
