Oil Prices Stabilize Around $80 per Barrel Amid Geopolitical Tensions
A recent video featuring Fox Business co-host Jackie Deangelis discussed the factors that are keeping crude oil prices around $80 per barrel amid tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. According to Deangelis, risk premiums and global production levels are preventing dramatic spikes in oil prices, which is easing pressure on the consumer price index.
Deangelis explained how energy price declines helped stabilize the July inflation report despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. She emphasized that these factors are keeping crude oil prices at a 'sweet spot' for former US President Donald Trump.
