Summary
Gas prices in New Zealand could plummet below three dollars a liter thanks to a rumored peace deal between Iran and the U.S., easing pressure on oil markets after tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. With Brent crude down to $84 a barrel, Westpac economist Kelly Eckhold predicts 91-octane fuel could hit $2.80–$2.90, boosting consumer confidence and potentially reversing recent economic slowdown. But caution remains — the deal’s details matter, and sustained low oil prices over the next few weeks will determine if New Zealand’s economy rebounds in Q3 or Q4.
