The ceasefire agreement between the United States, Iran, and Israel has led to a significant positive market reaction, with global oil prices plunging towards $90 per barrel and stock markets rallying worldwide. However, uncertainty persists due to ongoing attacks in the Gulf region and differing interpretations of the deal, particularly regarding Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz and its nuclear program, which could lead to renewed volatility.

A two-week ceasefire has been agreed upon between the United States, Iran, and Israel, following intense diplomatic efforts primarily mediated by Pakistan. US President Donald Trump pulled back from his threats of devastating strikes on Iran, while Iran proposed a 10-point peace plan. Key points of contention remain, including Iran's insistence on military management and charging tolls for passage through the Strait of Hormuz, and its continued uranium enrichment. Israel has backed the ceasefire but explicitly stated it does not cover fighting against Hezbollah in Lebanon, leading to continued Israeli strikes in the region. Despite the ceasefire announcement, missile and drone attacks were reported in Iran and Gulf Arab countries, highlighting the fragility of the truce. Global markets reacted positively, with oil prices falling and stocks rising, but the long-term stability of the agreement and its impact on global energy supplies remain uncertain.
