Summary
The two‑week US‑Iran ceasefire did lead to a short‑term easing of oil prices, with Brent and U.S. crude retreating from their recent peaks. However, prices quickly rebounded and have remained well above pre‑conflict levels, and the market stays volatile. Arabic‑language outlets also note a noticeable price drop after the ceasefire announcement.
