Oil prices have dropped significantly following U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement that he will cease targeting Iran. Brent crude fell to around $83 per barrel, while U.S. crude dropped to approximately $80 per barrel, amid ongoing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Despite the halt in attacks, Iran still refuses to reopen the strait and threatens ships attempting to pass through, while Saudi Arabia has increased oil shipments via alternative routes such as the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, despite threats from the Houthi group. This development has raised concerns about the stability of the oil market, as disruptions in maritime trade lead to price fluctuations. Additionally, gasoline prices in the United States have increased by about 34% compared to pre-war levels.
