Brent crude fell as much as 15% within minutes after Trump's Truth Social post signaled constructive talks with Tehran and delayed threatened strikes on power plants. Reports say traders had bet about $500 million on lower oil just before the post.
Natural gas also sold off.
The sell-off reflects markets pricing in a possible reopening of Gulf energy flows, which lowers input costs for energy and biofuel markets that affect feed grains and oilseeds.
