The Trump administration's announcement of an 'energy ceasefire' involving Russia has caused a significant sell-off in oil markets, with Brent crude falling to $103 per barrel.

While this is bullish for the broader market by reducing input costs, it creates a mixed environment for energy producers who face margin compression.
