Oil Prices Rise Amid Ukraine Talks
Oil prices have been going up for two days.
People are watching talks about peace in Ukraine and how much oil is being produced.
The talks are happening in Florida, and the Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, says some parts of the peace plan are not okay with him.
If a deal is made, it could mean more oil from Russia, which might make prices go down.
Right now, there's a lot of oil, and that's making prices lower.
Saudi Aramco is even lowering the price of their oil for January.
Canadian oil prices have also dropped.
Oil prices held a two-day advance, with West Texas Intermediate near $60 a barrel.
Ukrainian negotiators are joining a new round of discussions in Florida.
Russian President Vladimir Putin stated some points in a US-backed peace plan are unacceptable.
A potential deal could lead to more oil exports from Russia, possibly lowering prices.
Oversupply is putting pressure on global oil prices, with Saudi Aramco reducing crude prices and Canadian oil tumbling.
