May futures for U.S. WTI (West Texas Intermediate) crude temporarily fell to $86 a barrel on the morning of the 15th, Japan time. The contract settled at $91.28 on the 14th, down $7.80 from the previous session. U.S. President Trump indicated on the 14th that negotiations with Iran could resume in Pakistan within two days.
