International oil prices have decreased significantly following the recent agreement between the United States and Iran. The price of Brent crude fell below $80 per barrel, hitting levels not seen since early March, before the escalated tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran. On June 19, the price of Brent was reported at approximately $79. This decline in oil prices comes as markets anticipate a normalization of the situation in the Middle East, which may lead to a restoration of energy flows and alleviate inflationary pressures.

The agreement, coupled with the expected reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, is seen as a positive development for consumers and the global oil market. Following the announcement of the deal, prices for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) also declined, landing around $74.90 per barrel. Analysts express caution, however, noting that although the political agreement is a step forward, recovery in global shipping and supply chains may take additional time. As consumer sentiment improves, further decreases in fuel prices are anticipated in the near future.
