#OilPricesSlide – Relief Rally or Fakeout?**
Oil prices are sliding hard: Brent crude dropped below $85/barrel (down ~8% from recent peaks), WTI hovering near $82. Geopolitical de-escalation signals—Trump's claim the Iran conflict ends "very soon," reduced Hormuz risk premium, and increased OPEC+ output hints—sparked the pullback.
Energy stocks dip, inflation fears ease slightly, boosting equities & risk-on sentiment. Crypto traders: lower oil = potential Fed pivot sooner? BTC/ETH could catch a bid if macro improves.
