Why is oil falling on the Iran deal?
A potential Iran nuclear deal would remove sanctions, allowing Iran to export more crude oil, increasing global supply and weighing on prices.
How low could oil go?
Oil is already at a 16-week low, near levels seen in early March; further downside support exists around those levels, but a breakdown could target $60 if the deal progresses rapidly.
Will this affect gas prices?
Lower crude oil typically translates to lower gasoline prices with a lag, potentially easing consumer energy costs over the coming weeks if the decline sustains.
