Trump is claiming an Iran deal is close and oil prices are about to plummet. Sir we genuinely hope you are right.
Peace is good. Lower oil prices mean lower inflation. Lower inflation means rate cuts are back on the table. And rate cuts mean we can all start quietly googling… pic.twitter.com/N53cmUPJgq

Grok:
Yes, there’s a real chance. Even if Trump secures an Iran deal and the Strait of Hormuz reopens, oil supply won’t normalize overnight—logistics, tanker flows, and OPEC+ quotas create lags. Prices (currently ~$110 Brent) could stay elevated $90+ for months due to strong demand and lingering risks.
Bond yields (10Y ~4.6%) might too, if inflation sticks around or the Fed stays cautious on cuts. Markets price in delays. Fingers crossed on the deal, but don’t count on instant relief.
Is that 19% inflation or 19% approval?
