Crude Oil Prices
It is worth noting that despite the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran, the movement of oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz has been less affected this time. Consequently, crude oil prices are currently much lower than before.
On Thursday, prices for the global benchmark Brent crude fell by approximately 1% to $87.30 per barrel. In contrast, the previous session had seen a 7.91% surge,e one of the sharpest price spikes since the conflict involving Iran began.
