Oil prices stabilized on Friday after a sharp decline in the prior session, as a U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese government eased immediate geopolitical risk. The market is pricing in reduced escalation risk in the broader U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran, which had supported crude prices earlier. The move is meaningful for energy markets but remains a modest, news-driven adjustment rather than a structural shift.
