Iran-US Ceasefire Deteriorates Amid Oil Market Shocks
The month-old ceasefire between the US and Iran is collapsing as President Trump rejects Tehran's peace proposal and describes it as "on life support." The Strait of Hormuz blockade continues disrupting global oil supplies, affecting fuel prices, industrial production, and commodity markets across multiple regions. Strategic petroleum reserves are being released to stabilize energy prices.
