Oil prices plunged over 13% after President Trump said he would order the military to postpone strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure. The comment materially reduced Middle East supply-risk, driving a sharp repricing of crude and pressuring energy-sector assets and commodity-linked positions. Expect near-term downside for oil producers and reduced inflationary pressure from energy, while risk sentiment may improve across broader markets.
