Oil prices down after Iran, Israel agree to ceasefire
- On June 24, President Donald Trump declared that a full ceasefire had been reached between Israel and Iran, bringing an end to the 12-day conflict in the Middle East.
- The ceasefire followed U.S. airstrikes on June 21 targeting Iran's Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites, and Iran's limited missile strike on a U.S. base in Qatar that caused no casualties.
- Worldwide crude oil prices fell roughly 7% to around $66 per barrel, while major stock indices, including the S&P 500, experienced gains of over 1%.
- Patrick De Haan from GasBuddy said prices should fall quickly as the market sees the conflict winding down, and Trump urged to "KEEP OIL PRICES DOWN" on Truth Social.
- The ceasefire eased fears of further escalation and supply disruptions, boosting markets, though uncertainty remains about whether the truce will hold.
