Oil prices plummeted by 5% as traders focus on geopolitical developments. The recent proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route, has sparked hopes for a temporary deal between the US and Iran. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressed optimism that an agreement could be reached today or tomorrow, stating there would be no toll for passage through the strait.

Iran has not confirmed these statements, but reports suggest they may allow EU nations to remove mines from the Strait of Hormuz, a move previously rejected by Tehran. Oil traders believe a temporary deal will provide time for comprehensive negotiations, with stability being a key issue in any agreement.

WTI oil is currently trading below $76.00, having broken through support levels at $77.50-$78.00. If this trend continues, it could move towards the next support range of $73.00-$73.50.
