Global stock markets decline, oil prices slide over $2 per barrel on hopes for US-Iran deal

Global stock markets mostly declined on Thursday. Oil prices also saw a significant drop. Speculation about a potential US-Iran nuclear deal influenced the market. This deal could ease sanctions and increase oil supply. Earlier gains from the US-China trade truce reversed. Concerns about oversupply also contributed to the market downturn. Investors are now awaiting the US April wholesale inflation report.
