Oil prices fell below $100/bbl after the US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire. Brent dropped as much as 16% to near $94, and WTI posted its steepest drop in almost six years.
European diesel futures fell as much as 23%, with the API reporting a larger-than-expected US crude build.
The ceasefire eases fears of prolonged Strait of Hormuz disruption, reducing crude and diesel price support and lowering energy input costs for feed production, transport and fertilizer. Prices will depend on whether talks produce a durable deal and normal strait flows.
