Brent crude for November fell $2.69, or 2.6%, to $101.18 a barrel by 12:54 GMT on Monday, and both benchmarks touched their lowest since Sept. 10, as traders hoped this week's UN meetings would bring diplomatic progress and eyed a partial recovery in Saudi shipments.
Why it matters
Prices were still near $100 a barrel, so each signal from New York on Hormuz was moving the market.
