#CeasefireHitsCrude #CeasefireHitsCrude Oil dropped sharply July 27 after Iran reportedly said it would suspend attacks as long as the US also pauses strikes — Brent fell 8.7% to $88.36, WTI dropped 7.5% to $82.61, easing nearly two weeks of escalating conflict that had pushed Brent above $100. This is at least the fourth time in 2026 a ceasefire signal has triggered a sharp oil selloff (similar drops happened in April and May), each time followed by renewed fighting within weeks. Analysts remain cautious — even after this drop, prices stay well above pre-war levels ($72 Brent/$65 WTI on Feb 27), and the underlying Hormuz dispute (toll rights, Iranian demands) remains unresolved regardless of the pause holding. Markets took it as good news for the Fed's inflation outlook heading into Wednesday's FOMC decision — lower energy costs ease pressure on the hawkish rate-hike case that's built up since Logan's comments and last week's spike above $100.
