Summary
Oil prices surged as U.S.-Iran tensions appear to ease, with Brent crude hitting $73.39 amid reports of an impending ceasefire agreement set for Doha.

Meanwhile, a Saudi Aramco helicopter crash near Ras Tanura has raised alarms, and Russia’s Putin admits fuel shortages, possibly triggering a diesel export ban.
