Sign InFinancial analysts anticipate a gradual decline in retail gasoline prices and airfares if the 14-day ceasefire between the US and Iran remains intact. Oil prices plunged sharply following the agreement, triggering a rally in global equity markets on Wednesday as geopolitical risk premiums evaporated. However, experts caution that retail fuel prices may not return to pre-war levels in the immediate term despite the de-escalation. This cautious optimism stems from lower input costs for the transportation and energy sectors, potentially easing inflationary pressures on consumers. Markets are now closely monitoring the stability of the truce to assess the long-term sustainability of lower energy costs.
