Reports indicate the Trump administration is weighing sanctions relief for Iran in exchange for nuclear concessions, a development that counters the previous narrative of an unmitigated oil supply shock.

The White House is also considering tax relief for red-dyed diesel to lower fuel prices, further signaling an intent to manage energy inflation rather than confront a supply collapse.
