Briefly dipping below $100 indicates easing supply fears, which could weigh on oil prices in the short term. CL: WTI crude typically tracks Brent movements and is sensitive to Middle East supply disruptions. Easing supply fears from Mideast diplomacy would likely pressure WTI prices downward alongside Brent. XLE: Oil price movements directly affect energy sector equities tracked by this ETF. Lower oil prices from easing geopolitical tensions would drag down energy sector performance.
