Fuel Market News
Upon the news of a potential peace agreement between the US & Iran, crude oil prices took a steep dip, causing fuel prices to follow. It will take a week or more of continued stability and peace between the regions for drivers to see the real price difference as prices continue to fall. The question is how real this peace agreement is and how long it will last. Global markets have responded very positively, with stock markets going up and crude oil prices dropping. President Trump announced that the Strait of Hormuz has reopened entirely, ending the naval blockage and bottleneck of the entire region.
