Prices had spiked in recent days as concerns grew that Tehran could disrupt global supplies by blockading the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route for oil and gas.

Just hours earlier, Trump had declared the ceasefire was "now in effect", after which Israel confirmed that it had agreed to the move.
