U.S. Cruise Stocks Advance as Oil Prices Drop on U.S.-Iran Ceasefire

Deep News04-08 22:40

Shares of U.S. cruise line companies rose after the United States and Iran agreed to a ceasefire, an agreement that led to a decline in crude oil prices. On Wednesday, Royal Caribbean Group's stock jumped 10% to $293.94. Carnival's share price increased by 13% to $28.51, while Viking Holdings' stock climbed 9% to $78.01. International oil prices fell after U.S. President Trump announced a ceasefire agreement with Iran, which calls for the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The closure of the strait had cut off a significant portion of global oil supplies, driving up input costs for numerous tourism sectors, including the cruise industry, which relies heavily on oil for fuel. On Wednesday morning, the benchmark Brent crude price fell by 16%.
