[Brent Crude Falls Below $100 as Diplomatic Efforts Ease Middle East Tensions] Odaily Planet Daily News: Brent crude oil prices have fallen below $100 per barrel after the U.S. proposed a 15-point plan to Iran aimed at ending the war. Reports also indicate that mediators are working to facilitate a meeting between the U.S. and Iran later this week. Saxo Bank analyst Charu Chanana stated, "Wars rarely need to end for markets to bottom out," and "once the likelihood of further escalation begins to decline, investors often take action." Nevertheless, attacks from both sides continue, and the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed. Iran has stated that only "non-hostile" vessels are allowed to pass through the waterway. (Jin10)
