The price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil has declined to near $74.00, amid hopes that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen soon.

Iran and Oman are close to finalizing a proposed agreement to control navigation through the passage, with Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmaeil Baghaei, stating they are 'close to finalizing a proposed framework'.

Higher odds of a Hormuz reopening are backed by comments from a senior Gulf official, who said there is a 50% chance that Iran and Oman will reach an agreement on the Hormuz by Friday.

The US has condemned Iran's intentions for a recognition of its authority near the Hormuz, contradicting US President Donald Trump's recent post on Truth Social stating Iran had agreed to 'immediate, complete, and total opening' of the Strait.
