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.

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.
