WTI crude oil prices fell below $92 amid a stable US-Iran ceasefire that has lasted over seven weeks, easing geopolitical fears and normalizing tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude retreated to $95.79, showing neutral to bearish momentum, while natural gas futures rose to $2.885, supported by strong demand and bullish technical signals. The ceasefire has reduced the risk premium in oil markets, but supply remains cautious due to ongoing regional repairs and restrained demand in emerging markets. Traders are watching upcoming US inventory data and OPEC+ decisions for further direction, with market volatility still possible if the ceasefire falters.
