Brent crude oil weakened again after plummeting more than 8% on the previous trading day. Investors are betting that the Democratic Party won a big victory in the US midterm elections, which may speed up the process of ending the war in the Middle East. The Democratic Party took control of the Senate and House of Representatives in the midterm elections, causing a major setback to President Trump and his Republican Party. As a result, the Democratic Party had a greater say in government spending. On Wednesday, the election results were compounded by Trump's statement that he would not launch a further attack on Iran, impacting the energy market. The price of crude oil in the North Sea fell to a new low, and European gas plummeted at the same time.
