Meanwhile, July futures for Brent crude oil on London's ICE exchange fell by 1.68% or $1.85 to $108.02 per barrel. According to Azeri-Press News Agency, the decline in oil prices is linked to investors' expectations that tensions in the Middle East will not escalate further, as well as profit-taking in the market.
