Oil prices eased on ​Monday (May 4, 2026) after U.S. President Donald Trump said the ⁠United States would begin an effort to free up ships stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, however the lack of a U.S.-Iran peace ‌deal kept prices supported above $100.

Brent crude futures fell 64 cents, or 0.59%, to $107.53 a barrel by ‌2308 GMT after settling down $2.23 on Friday (May 1).
