Oil prices fall as Saudi pipeline recovery hopes rise; Brent still above $100

Oil prices declined on reports that Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline could restore about half its capacity within days, easing supply concerns from last week's drone attacks. Brent for November delivery fell 1.23% to $104.53, while WTI dropped 0.96% to $101.45, yet both remain above $100. The market is weighing partial infrastructure recovery against ongoing geopolitical risk in the region.
