Oil prices plunged more than 11% on March 10, the steepest one-day percentage drop since 2022, after Trump predicted a quick end to the war with Iran. Brent settled at $87.80 and WTI at $83.45 after both hit four-year highs the previous day.
The US military reportedly facilitated an oil shipment out of the Strait of Hormuz.
Easing expectations of the Iran war reduce the risk premium on crude, which lowers energy input costs and reduces the pull on biofuel-linked feedstock prices. Prices remain well above pre-war levels, so volatility is likely to persist.
