Oil prices tumbled on Monday as optimism over possible diplomatic progress between the United States and Iran weighed on global energy markets.

Brent crude futures fell more than 6% to $82.41 a barrel after U.S. President Donald Trump announced that talks with Iran were scheduled for Monday.

Trump had earlier said he had postponed a planned military strike against Iran in an effort to secure an agreement that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resolve the dispute over Tehran's nuclear programme.
