Oil prices went down because there might be too much oil soon.
Iraq is planning to start selling oil again through a pipeline.
This means more oil could be available.
Also, there are worries about conflicts between countries, which can affect oil prices.

Iraq may soon resume oil exports via Kurdistan.
Brent crude futures were down 0.51% and WTI crude down 0.47%.
Geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe and the Middle East affected prices.
