The recent U.S.-Iran ceasefire has led to a significant drop in oil prices, with Brent crude falling more than 15% as investors react positively to the prospect of peace and reduced energy crisis fears.

However, the sustainability of this price relief is questioned due to the conditional nature of the ceasefire, which hinges on Iran's management of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital passage for global oil shipments. Analysts suggest that it could take months for energy supply to stabilize, and geopolitical risks may continue to influence market dynamics.
