AI Summary
Oil prices plunged on Wednesday following President Trump's announcement of a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran. This immediate market reaction indicates that geopolitical tensions involving major oil-producing regions significantly influence global energy costs. The ceasefire likely eased concerns about potential disruptions to oil supply from the Middle East, leading to a decrease in crude futures.
