# Oil falls 3% as ceasefire lifts hopes for Hormuz deal

Ceasefire changes outlook: An Israel-Lebanon truce raised expectations for U.S.-Iran diplomacy, sending crude benchmarks down roughly 3%. Hormuz traffic limited: Vessel repositioning suggests preparations for a possible reopening, but the Strait remains largely closed. Stocks at record low: U.S. crude and petroleum product inventories are at their lowest since 2004, heightening vulnerability to supply shocks.
