Oil prices fell moderately, the reason for which was the expectation that part of Iranian oil exports would continue to flow to the market after the introduction of US sanctions, easing the load on supplies. Two companies in India, a major buyer of Iranian oil, ordered barrels in November, the Indian oil minister said.
