  • Crude Oil Prices Fall on Diplomatic Hopes to End US-Iran Conflict
    May 19, 2026, 1:56 PM EDT. Crude oil and gasoline prices declined as the US dollar strengthened and hopes for a diplomatic resolution to the US-Iran conflict rose. June WTI crude dropped 0.41% and June RBOB gasoline fell 2.35%. President Trump postponed a strike on Iran to allow more time for peace talks, easing immediate geopolitical risk concerns. However, tensions remain high with the Strait of Hormuz closed, cutting global oil supplies by about 6%.

The International Energy Agency says the oil market is severely undersupplied until at least October, with significant crude output cuts and inventory draws.
