Crude oil prices decreased by approximately $5 per barrel on Sunday evening, marking the first significant trading session since preliminary outlines of a potential deal to resolve the U.S.-Iran conflict emerged. Futures prices for Brent crude fell to around $98.76 per barrel, reflecting a 4.62% decline from the previous Friday's close. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil transport, has been impacted by the conflict, blocking the flow of about 14 million barrels of oil per day, according to the International Energy Agency. Although gas prices are currently decreasing, analysts suggest that without a signed agreement and the resumption of shipping through the Strait, the national average price of gasoline may remain above $4 per gallon. Experts indicate that restoring production and transport capabilities could take weeks to months, and fully recovering pre-war output levels may require multiple quarters to years.
