Oil Falls Below $80 With US-Iran Deal Set to Add Wave of Supply

This shift has led major Wall Street banks to lower their price forecasts, while regional benchmarks have suffered. The agreement's implications extend beyond immediate market fluctuations, potentially affecting global energy markets and geopolitical dynamics, emphasizing the interconnectedness of international relations and economic stability.
