Oil prices held steady with WTI near $97.05 and Brent near $105.23 amid mixed signals from the Middle East. Reports of a US strike on Iran's Qeshm Island added risk premium to prices, but ongoing Iran peace talks and US midterm election uncertainty kept traders cautious. Natural gas prices rose slightly on cold weather forecasts but remain under pressure from weak fundamentals. Technical analysis shows slight bearish bias for oil and gas unless key resistance levels are broken. Investors will watch election outcomes and further diplomatic developments closely.
