Oil rises slightly ahead of potential US-Iran talks

Oil prices saw a slight increase as markets stabilized after recent declines. Investors are closely watching potential United States-Iran talks at the UN General Assembly. Middle East tensions remain elevated due to Houthi attacks and Saudi Aramco pipeline issues. China has urged Tehran to help curb Houthi attacks following Saudi Arabia's appeal. Libya's Sharara oilfield has also experienced a partial reduction in its production.
