Oil Price Decline: Oil prices, including the United States Brent Oil Fund (BNO) and the United States Oil Fund (USO), fell significantly due to a tentative ceasefire between Israel and Iran, which eased concerns over military escalation in the Middle East. Brent crude dropped over 12% from its recent peak.
Market Volatility and Uncertainty: Despite the positive market response to the ceasefire announcement by President Trump, uncertainty remains as tensions could reignite, with reports of missile launches by Iran prompting further Israeli strikes. Analysts caution about the fragile nature of the ceasefire and its potential impact on global oil supply.
