Prices had soared in response to the killing of an Iranian general in an American air strike last week and Iran\u2019s retaliatory attack on U.S. forces in Iraq on Wednesday, before diving more than 4% when two countries quickly ratcheted back tensions, hitting a three-week low.<\/p>\n<p>Brent crude futures rose 55 cents, or 0.8%, to $65.99 a barrel by 0109 GMT after tumbling 4.1% on Wednesday. They are now a little down on prices before the killing of Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani that sparked the crisis.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. oil added 61 cents, or 1%, to $60.22 after falling nearly 5% in the previous session. President Donald Trump on Wednesday dialled back on days of threatening commentary and said Iran was \u201cstanding down\u201d after the missile attacks that left no casualties, with Tehran say the strikes \u201cconcluded\u201d its response to the Soleimani killing.<\/p>\n<p>Oil prices also came under pressure on Wednesday after a surprise build in U.S. crude stockpiles. J.P.Morgan bank maintained its forecast for Brent to average $64.50 a barrel this year. \u201cThe impact on oil prices will depend on (the) extent of supply disruption versus available spare capacity, global oil inventories and reaction to oil price from U.S. producers,\u201d the bank said in a commodities research note.<\/p>\n<div class=\"common-bottom-text\">\n<p>Get live <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/market\/stock-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stock Prices<\/a> from BSE and NSE and latest NAV, portfolio of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/mutual-funds-india\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mutual Funds<\/a>, calculate your tax by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/income-tax-calculator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Income Tax Calculator<\/a>, know market\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/market\/stock-market\/nse-top-gainers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Top Gainers<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/market\/stock-market\/nse-top-losers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Top Losers<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/mutual-funds-india\/equity-funds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Best Equity Funds<\/a>.
