Oil prices fall after the signing of the declaration of intent
The price of crude oil has decreased by about three percent and has fallen more than fifteen percent in one week. Reports of an upcoming agreement between Iran and the United States and the approval of a sanctions waiver yesterday have contributed to the decline in oil prices. These reports were expected to address traffic through the Hormuz Strait to allow the movement of oil and other goods. Reactions in stock markets were mixed, with stocks rising in Tokyo, Singapore, Mumbai, Frankfurt, and Manila, while falling in Shanghai, Sydney, Wellington, Bangkok, Jakarta, and Paris. Stock prices have
Verð á olíu lækkaði þegar markaðir í Asíu opnuðu í nótt eftir að tilkynnt var um að Bandaríkjastjórn og klerkastjórnin í Íran hefðu náð samkomulagi um að opna Hormússund. Töluverð óvissa ríkir þó enn um hvað samkomulagið felur í sér og hvort það haldi.
Hráolía úr Norðursjó lækkaði um 4,3 prósent en bandarísk um 4,9 prósent, að því er segir í frétt breska ríkisútvarpsins . Heimsmarkaðsverð á olíu hefur tekið miklum sveiflum á undanförnum mánuðum frá því að Bandaríkin og Ísrael réðust á Íran og Íranir brugðust við með því að ráðast á skip á Hormússundi, einni helstu flutningaskipaleið heimsins með olíu.
Stjórnvöld í Pakistan tilkynntu í gærkvöldi að þau hefðu haft milligöngu um samkomulag á milli Bandaríkjamanna og Írana. Skrifa eigi undir samkomulagið við formlega athöfn í Sviss á föstudag.
Donald Trump Bandaríkjaforseti fullyrti í kjölfarið að olían ætti eftir að „flæða aftur“. Hann hefur þó ekki verið áreiðanlegasti sögumaðurinn um stöðu viðræðna við Írana.
Sérfræðingar segja að jafnvel þótt samkomulagið haldi komist olíuflutningar um sundið ekki strax aftur á fullan skrið. Fyrst þurfti að hreinsa neðansjávarsprengjur sem Íranir komu fyrir en það gæti tekið allt frá nokkrum vikum upp í hálft ár.
Áður en stríðsbrölt Bandaríkjamanna og Ísraela hófst í febrúar gekk tunnan á Norðursjávarolíu kaupum og sölum fyrir um sjötíu dollara. Verðið náði hæst 120 dollurum á tunnu en er nú rúmlega áttatíu dollarar.

Oil prices dropped after reports emerged that the United States and Iran had reached an agreement to open the Hormuz Strait. The market reacted with uncertainty regarding the details of the agreement and whether it would hold. Prices fell by around 4.3% for North Sea crude and 4.9% for U.S. crude. Global oil prices have fluctuated significantly over the past month due to tensions between the U.S. and Israel, which led Iran to seize ships in the Hormuz Strait, a critical global oil shipping route. Pakistan announced that it had facilitated discussions between the U.S. and Iran, though no formal
