According to Zhito Finance APP, during the early Asian trading session on Monday, international oil prices plummeted sharply. This followed U.S. President Trumps announcement to cancel large-scale military strikes against Iran, stating that negotiations aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz would soon resume. Meanwhile, OPEC+ approved a slight increase in production starting in September by approximately 188,000 barrels per day, officially completing a gradual rollback of voluntary production cuts that began last year. Amid dual expectations of easing geopolitical tensions and a normalization of supply, market panic has suddenly cooled.
