Brent fell 1.95% to $111.20 and WTI to $101.92 after Iran's foreign minister said a Qatar-brokered plan could reopen the Strait of Hormuz in two days. Two tankers were still reported hit by mines. The move is a premium unwind, not a supply change.
The Dow jumped 1,569.40 points (+3.03%) to 53,356.12 — its best post-midterm session in 44 years — while the Nasdaq Composite added just 1.44%.
