Oil prices have fallen below $90 per barrel for the first time since August, driven by easing tensions between the US and Iran. US President Donald Trump's comments suggesting that further military action against Iran is unnecessary have contributed to the decline. The fall in oil prices has been welcomed by global markets, with stock indices rising and airline stocks gaining on expectations of lower fuel costs. However, risks remain as the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil chokepoint, continues to face disruptions, and the US maintains its naval blockade.
