Oil prices fall on US, Iran deal announcement
Crude oil prices fell over 4% to their lowest levels in three months following a U.S.-Iran ceasefire extension that could reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The agreement may ease global energy shocks caused by restricted oil traffic through the strait, which handles about a fifth of global oil trade, and could reduce U.S. gasoline prices, which remain elevated compared to pre-war levels.
