European Gas Prices Drop 20% Following US-Iran Truce

Brussels: Natural gas prices in Europe fell sharply during trading today after the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran agreed on a two-week truce, easing pressure on global energy markets.

Benchmark gas futures declined by up to 20 percent, reaching their lowest levels since the onset of the conflict.

The decline followed confirmation by US President Donald Trump of a temporary suspension of military operations against Iran.

The announcement came shortly before a key deadline that had raised concerns among investors over possible military escalation in the region.

Iran, for its part, signalled conditional willingness to de-escalate, indicating that safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz would be ensured during the truce period, subject to the cessation of hostilities and coordination with relevant authorities.
