Watch: When will fuel prices go down?

The US and Iran have made a two-week ceasefire agreement, which includes Iran reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for ships to pass through safely.

Brent crude oil prices dropped by nearly 15% to roughly $95 (£70.68) per barrel after the announcement, a significant decline from highs of nearly $120 a barrel earlier in the war.
