Oil prices dropped significantly on Monday after President Trump paused new Iran attacks. He seeks a swift agreement to halt Tehran's nuclear program and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. This move follows a month of over twenty percent price jumps due to renewed conflict. OPEC+ approved an oil production increase, but market impact remains limited. Shipping data shows reduced traffic in the Strait of Hormuz after recent incidents.
