Oil and stocks whipsaw on hopes of an end to Iran war
France24 • 3/9/2026 – 3/10/2026
Summary
Crude oil prices fell sharply after reaching nearly $120 per barrel on Monday. Both Brent and WTI benchmarks fluctuated around $100 before reversing course following comments from Donald Trump indicating that the US-Israeli war on Iran might be nearing an end. Meanwhile, Gulf countries began cutting production due to a rapid decrease in available storage space, leading to rising fuel prices for consumers.
