Oil Prices Decline After Trump's Claim of Peace in Iran Conflict

1. Following US President Donald Trump's statement that the conflicts in Iran would soon come to an end, an instant decline was observed in the markets, affecting the spot prices of Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI). 2. Brent and WTI experienced a brief selling pressure after Trump's remarks, as market participants reassessed their positions with the expectation that the end of the war could lead to an increase in supply. 3. With the increase in volatility, investors showed a tendency to avoid risk, resulting in a significant decline in the daily price movements of oil indexes. 4. Long-term price expectations are closely related to geopolitical developments. Trump's statement increased market sensitivity in the short term, directing spot prices downward. 5. Market analysts note that the impact of such statements on instant price movements may be limited, but they can shape investor behavior in the short term. This is not an investment advice.

▼ down · 70%

The headline, pointing to easing tensions in the Middle East, could create short-term pressure on oil prices. Technical indicators present a mixed picture; the RSI is in neutral territory, but the price closing below the SMA50 and the MACD being negative support a downward trend. Following the sharp decline in the last 24 hours, there is a possibility that selling pressure could continue for a while with this news. However, the price still being above the SMA20 and the RSI not being in oversold territory could limit the deepening of the decline.
