Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif separately confirmed that the two sides had declared a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/06\/14\/us-iran-war-peace-deal.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">permanent end to hostilities<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\">, and an official signing ceremony is scheduled for Friday in Switzerland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">About 20% of global oil supplies passed through the Strait before tanker traffic plunged in early March, when Iranian attacks triggered what analysts described as the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">biggest oil supply disruption<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> in history. Under the agreement, the strait will reopen without a toll system, and the U.S. will end its naval blockade of Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Energy Markets Unwind a War Premium<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The price action marks a sharp reversal of the risk premium that had built into energy markets during the conflict.

Instead, the move toward a settlement has pulled prices back toward pre-conflict ranges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">For Iran, the reopening of Hormuz and the prospect of sanctions relief could restore a significant share of its oil exports, given that the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy are all reportedly preparing to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WatcherGuru\/status\/2066301021580615929\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">lift sanctions <\/span><\/a>against the Middle Eastern nation (<span style=\"font-weight:400\">a step that would further loosen global supply and weigh on prices).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Lower energy costs have historically eased <span>inflation<\/span> expectations, indirectly supporting risk assets.
