Consumers and businesses feel the sting of sudden oil‑price swings as gasoline and jet fuel costs hover in limbo. The rapid change has implications for transport costs, logistics and inflation expectations. The market reaction traces back to President Trump’s decision to launch a bombing campaign against Iran, paired with subsequent diplomatic overtures aimed at a US‑Iran peace framework.

The juxtaposition of military action and peace talks injected uncertainty into Gulf supply routes, prompting investors to reassess risk premiums on crude. Mitrade noted WTI climbing to near $96, while Yahoo Finance reported oil prices falling on hopes of progress in Gulf negotiations. NDTV Profit and CNBC TV18 both cited Brent hovering around $104 as traders weigh the peace prospects.
