Oil falls in early Asian trade on more signs of increased supply amid easing Middle East tensions. The supply has surged in recent weeks, ANZ Research analysts say. They cite a media report quoting a U.S. official as saying that American military support has helped boost oil flows to more than 10 million barrels a day. Also, "the U.S. and Iran arrived for peace talks in Doha, with U.S. negotiators saying progress in indirect talks with Iran had been made," the analysts say. "This eased concerns that a return to conflict between the two sides would disrupt the movement of oil through the Strait of Hormuz," they add. Front-month WTI crude oil futures are 0.8% lower at $68.04 per barrel. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
