ING analysts said oil prices dropped sharply as a US-Iran two-week ceasefire eased supply disruption fears. Bloomberg survey data showed OPEC output fell about 7.6 mb/d in March to 22.1 mb/d, while API data showed a 3.7 mb build in US crude stocks.
Reopening the Strait of Hormuz could restore some lost output, though full normalization will be gradual. Bearish crude inventory data and expected supply recovery point to lower energy costs for feed producers in the near term.
