Oil prices drop on hopes of US de-escalation with Iran

Oil prices dropped significantly in international markets, driven largely by rising hopes that the United States may de-escalate its war stance toward Iran. This expectation emerges amid geopolitical tensions that have impacted the stability of global crude supply. According to Reuters reports, investors reacted to the possibility of reduced hostilities, which would lower the risk of disruptions to oil production in the region. Consequently, the energy market showed temporary relief, though analysts warn that volatility could persist depending on the progress of diplomatic negotiations.
