Peace Hopes Weigh on Oil Prices

Rising expectations of a potential peace agreement between the US and Iran have created significant selling pressure in oil markets. News that the Strait of Hormuz could reopen pushed Brent crude oil prices below $90 per barrel. Following this development, weekly losses for Brent and WTI crude oil prices exceeded 7%. Market participants assess that if geopolitical risks diminish, concerns about supply security will ease, and prices could decline further. The critical role of the Strait of Hormuz in international oil transportation makes any reduction in tensions in this region a downward factor for prices. Analysts note that if a peace agreement is finalized, there could be a significant increase in oil supply, which could further pull prices down. However, a cautious mood prevails in the markets as the agreement has not yet been formalized. This is not investment advice.

The news headline supports expectations of a decline in oil prices as the geopolitical risk premium diminishes. Technical indicators also confirm this view: although the RSI is in oversold territory at 24, the MACD continues to generate a sell signal, and the price is trading below both the 20-day and 50-day moving averages. The sharp 6% drop over the past 24 hours indicates strong downward momentum. While the short-term downtrend is likely to persist, some corrective buying may occur due to oversold conditions.
