Trump’s Gas-Price Bet Pays Off as Pump Costs Dip Amid Iran Ceasefire
TL;DR
Gas prices have fallen about 70 cents per gallon in a month to around $3.92 nationwide as the U.S.–Iran ceasefire eases supply fears and China’s weaker demand keeps oil use soft, defying earlier forecasts and giving Trump a political boost ahead of the midterms. Analysts caution the decline could be temporary if the ceasefire falters or supply tightens, and note voters' sensitivity to affordability will shape its political impact.
