Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Lower crude prices reduce energy-driven inflation risk and support a more patient Fed stance. If diplomacy yields a durable settlement, risk assets may benefit from a re-rated inflation path. Historical parallels show oil-price declines often coincide with looser monetary policy expectations and equity strength, though persistent volatility remains a risk.
