Summary
A preliminary US-Iran deal to end the war has caused oil prices to drop to a three-month low, with hopes that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen. However, analysts warn it could take months for American consumers to see relief at the pump due to production ramp-up time, port bottlenecks, and heightened demand. The strait's closure had disrupted global energy markets for over three months, cutting off a shipping route for roughly one-fifth of the world's oil and LNG.
