Oil prices plummeted after US President Donald Trump announced that negotiations with Iran would begin to end the war. The announcement, made on August 3, 2026, at 16:05 BST, sparked a significant drop in crude oil futures. According to Trump, he had called off what would have been 'massive strikes' at the request of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

The decline in oil prices boosted US stocks, with the Dow Jones jumping 1.3 percent, Nasdaq up 1.2 percent, and the broader S&P 500 up 0.9 percent. Brent crude prices dropped five percent to $83.53 a barrel on Monday.
