Oil prices fall after US-Iran ceasefire deal

Global financial markets reacted positively after the United States and Iran agreed to a conditional two-week ceasefire, which includes reopening the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The development led to a sharp drop in oil prices and strong gains in stock markets worldwide. Brent crude fell by around 13% to $94.80 per barrel, while US crude dropped more than 15% to $95.75. Despite this decline, prices remain above pre-conflict levels, when oil traded near $70 per barrel in late February. Energy markets had been under pressure due to disruptions in Middle Eastern supply, particularly after Iran threatened to target vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz in response to US and Israeli strikes. Stock markets mirrored the improved sentiment. European indices opened higher, with London’s FTSE 100 rising by 2.53%, France’s CAC 40 gaining 4%, and Germany’s DAX climbing nearly 5%. […]

US-Iran ceasefire eases tensions amid talks

Tensions between the United States and Iran eased temporarily after a last-minute diplomatic move by President Donald Trump, who announced a potential breakthrough toward a peace agreement. In a message posted at 18:32 Washington time on his social media platform, Trump indicated that both countries were “very far along” in negotiations and agreed to a two-week ceasefire to allow talks to continue. The announcement came shortly before a deadline he had set for possible large-scale US strikes on Iranian energy and transport infrastructure. The ceasefire remains conditional on Iran halting hostilities and ensuring full access to the Strait of Hormuz for commercial shipping. Iranian authorities have signaled their willingness to comply, while maintaining that they retain control over the strategic waterway. This development offered Trump a way to step back from a difficult decision between military escalation and a potential […]

$150 oil could trigger global recession

The head of BlackRock has warned that a sharp rise in oil prices could push the global economy into recession, as geopolitical tensions continue to unsettle markets. Larry Fink said that if oil prices climb to around $150 per barrel and remain elevated, the impact on the global economy would be severe. According to him, prolonged high energy costs could lead to a “steep recession,” especially if instability linked to Iran persists. He outlined two possible scenarios: a de-escalation that could bring oil prices back down, or a prolonged period of elevated prices above $100 per barrel. In the latter case, the consequences for growth, inflation and global demand would be significant. Rising energy costs are already affecting financial markets, with investors reacting to uncertainty in the Middle East. Fink emphasized that higher oil prices act like an economic burden, […]

Markets fall as US-Iran tensions escalate

Global financial markets have come under pressure as tensions between the United States and Iran intensify, with the conflict now entering its fourth week. The situation has unsettled investors and pushed energy prices higher amid fears of further escalation. In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei index dropped sharply by 3.5%, while South Korea’s Kospi plunged 6.5%, reflecting concerns over supply disruptions. European markets also declined, though more moderately, with London’s FTSE 100 falling 1.9% and major indices in Germany and France losing around 2%. At the center of the crisis is the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global shipping route through which roughly 20% of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas typically passes. Iran has effectively restricted access to the strait following attacks by the United States and Israel in late February, raising alarm over global energy supplies. Oil prices reacted […]

Trump’s Iran tariff threat risks reopening China rift

US President Donald Trump’s threat to impose a 25 percent tariff on any country that trades with Iran is raising fears of a renewed rift with China, Tehran’s biggest commercial partner. Analysts say the move could drag Beijing back into a trade confrontation with Washington just as both sides were trying to stabilise ties.​ Trump announced on Monday that his administration is preparing the new tariffs as part of efforts to punish Iran over its crackdown on protests and to choke off the country’s oil revenues. The proposed measure would hit major buyers of Iranian crude and goods, including China, India and several countries in Asia.​ China has repeatedly criticised unilateral US sanctions and defended its energy and trade links with Iran as legitimate under international law. Beijing is also a key player in Iran’s oil, infrastructure and technology sectors […]
