Sign InGlobal energy markets experienced a massive sell-off today as Brent and WTI crude prices plummeted by 16% following news of a fragile ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran. The agreement significantly reduced the geopolitical risk premium that had been supporting prices in recent sessions. Despite the sharp decline, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to navigation as kinetic actions continue in the Gulf region.

This sudden drop represents a major shift in global inflation expectations and energy costs. Markets remain on high alert for official confirmation regarding the stabilization of logistical conditions in vital waterways.
