US President Donald Trump announced that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an "energy ceasefire," meaning both sides would stop attacking each other's energy infrastructure like power plants. Oil prices fell and stock markets rose on the news. But Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said he needed more details, and Russia gave no confirmation. It remains unclear whether any such agreement actually exists.
Oil prices tumbled and most stock markets rose Monday after US President Donald Trump unilaterally announced an alleged "energy ceasefire" between Russia and Ukraine, according to France 24.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he sought details of the announcement, per France 24. Moscow offered no confirmation.
Why it matters: traders moved on a claim neither side has verified. Unclear is whether anyone actually agreed to halt strikes on energy infrastructure.
