Brent crude futures slipped 0.7% to $65.09 per barrel while WTI retreated 1% to $62.82 following diplomatic progress in Ukraine. The WHITE House meeting between President Trump, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, and European leaders sparked speculation about a potential peace summit with Russia's Putin.

A resolution could destabilize oil markets by lifting sanctions on Russian crude exports, potentially flooding an already volatile demand environment. "Any de-escalation that removes tariff threats WOULD push oil lower," analysts note, highlighting the delicate balance between geopolitical stability and commodity pricing.
