TLDR
One September 25 market roundup says oil prices dipped on US-Iran truce hopes while Gulf production shutdowns reached 6.7 million barrels a day. Another credits lower oil prices with helping US stocks, but describes surging heating oil costs in Maine and pressure on rural communities. Looking at a longer period, the Common Good Party said on September 26 that oil prices had risen 45% in seven months and suggested Middle East tensions might be raising grocery bills.
