    Oil prices slide, risk appetite improves as M.East fears ease 

    Oil prices plummeted early Monday, while risk appetite improved after Israel launched a retaliatory strike against Iran over the weekend, but avoided hitting key nuclear and oil facilities.

    Iran also signaled limited damage from the attack, drumming up hopes that a bigger conflict will not break out in the Middle East. 

    Still, Tehran said it would retaliate over the attack.
