BusinessInternational Oil Prices Fall 17 Percent in May on US-Iran Ceasefire Reports
International oil prices fell about 17 percent in May, the biggest monthly drop since 2020, after reports emerged of a US-Iran ceasefire agreement.
In May, international oil prices declined sharply. Brent crude oil futures prices fell to 91.2 dollars per barrel, with monthly decline of approximately 17 percent. This is the largest single-month decline since 2020. Market decline's reason is United States and Iran possible ceasefire news. If ceasefire succeeds, Hormuz Strait will reopen. This strait is very important for global oil transportation. However, currently both countries have not formally signed an agreement.
