“oil prices falling more than 5% after Trump suggested that negotiations were making progress”
MISLEADING
While one source mentions oil and gas prices fell after Trump said the war was 'very complete', another source mentions prices falling by 2% for different reasons, and another mentions prices rising by 3%. The specific claim of a 'more than 5%' drop linked specifically to 'negotiations making progress' is not consistently corroborated across the provided evidence; some sources attribute price drops to the war being 'complete' rather than 'negotiations progressing'.
