The progress of the US and Iran ceasefire negotiations has prompted a pullback in oil prices, with the Trump administration instructing a delay in strikes against Iran. Although the situation has eased somewhat, oil prices remain affected by supply disruptions and the Strait of Hormuz navigation issues, and a short-term wait-and-see approach is recommended.

News of the U.S. pushing for ceasefire negotiations with Iran has become the main catalyst for the oil price pullback. The White House press secretary stated that U.S.-Iran negotiations “are still ongoing and productive,” while Trump instructed the Department of Defense to postpone strikes on Iran’s power and energy infrastructure. Meanwhile, Iran has sent a letter to the United Nations stating that non-combatant vessels can safely transit the Strait of Hormuz. These signals have quickly cleared a large amount of geopolitical risk premium previously factored into oil prices. However, the fundamentals of crude oil have not changed: nearly 10 million barrels per day of supply remains disrupted, and the Strait of Hormuz is still not open for normal navigation. The outlook for the situation in Iran is unpredictable, and oil prices are likely to continue to experience significant volatility at high levels in the short term, suggesting a cautious approach.
