Crude oil prices plummeted after U.S. President Donald Trump said U.S. forces would leave Iran within two to three weeks even if no mutually agreeable deal is reached. The statement appears to have removed a near-term geopolitical risk premium on oil, triggering a sharp sell-off and heightened volatility. This is a sector-moving development for energy commodities and could shift short-term positioning in oil futures and related assets.
