The decline was attributed to the potential easing of tensions between the United States and Iran. On 7 October, oil prices surged past $100 per barrel due to geopolitical tensions in West Asia and adverse weather conditions affecting U.S. energy production. This rise was reported to lead to increased gasoline and diesel prices in Turkey.
