Analysts predict that the Iran war will cause the oil market to shift from a surplus to a deficit in 2026, with demand outpacing supply by 750,000 barrels per day due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on energy infrastructure.
Oil prices fell below $95 per barrel, and stock markets surged worldwide after President Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran, easing fears of further conflict and supply disruptions.
