Stocks rise as oil prices tumble after Trump hails 'energy ceasefire'
Oil prices fell after Trump said Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an energy ceasefire and a diesel deal could add more than 300,000 metric tonnes to markets.
- Global oil prices tumbled Monday as markets reacted to President Donald Trump's reported energy ceasefire announcement between Russia and Ukraine, with both major crude benchmarks declining more than 1 percent.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed surprise at the announcement but confirmed his government supports the move, stating it is 'important that Russia support it as well.' Russia has yet to formally confirm the agreement.
- Analysts note the market is increasingly reluctant to pay geopolitical premiums on every headline, yet the physical market remains tight enough to keep Brent above $100 despite the ceasefire announcement.
- Most Asian stock markets rose Monday, with Hong Kong, Sydney, Singapore, Wellington and Manila all posting gains as oil prices eased; Seoul and Taipei declined due to chipmaker losses.
- Investors are preparing for upcoming earnings season and Federal Reserve interest-rate decisions due at month's end, which could influence energy volatility regardless of the ceasefire's long-term durability.
