Gas Prices Hold Steady After Iran Ceasefire Despite Dubious $8/Gallon Warnings in California

MIDDLE EAST, JUN 25 – The ceasefire ended nearly two weeks of conflict, causing oil prices to drop nearly 18% and easing supply disruption fears, benefiting global markets and energy sectors.

  • On June 24, 2025, following U.S. military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites the previous weekend, President Donald Trump declared that Israel and Iran had reached an agreement to halt hostilities.
  • The ceasefire followed U.S. attacks on Iran's Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan sites on June 21 and Iran's limited missile retaliation, with diplomatic efforts leading to de-escalation despite initial tensions.
  • Markets responded positively as oil prices fell sharply by around 7% to about $66 a barrel, stock indexes rallied globally, and analysts noted the conflict appeared to be winding down.
  • Patrick De Haan said prices should fall quickly because of the ceasefire, while Carsten Fritsch stated oil prices could drop further if peace holds; Trump urged keeping oil prices low to avoid aiding the enemy.
  • The ceasefire reduced risks to the oil supply through the Strait of Hormuz and eased investor fears, but questions remained about the ceasefire's durability and inflation pressures continued to influence Federal Reserve policy considerations.
