Prețul petrolului scade după anunțul lui Trump despre Iran. Strâmtoarea Ormuz ar putea fi redeschisă în șapte zile

Oil prices fell on Friday after Donald Trump announced that the U.S. would not attack Iran before the November elections. Brent crude dropped by 0.7% to $103.53 per barrel, while WTI decreased by 0.6% to $90.97. This decline was attributed to reduced fears of military escalation in the Middle East. Trump stated that discussions with Iran were productive and no military action was planned before the elections. Meanwhile, Iran is considering a U.S. response to its proposal for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Despite Friday's drop, Brent is on track for a weekly increase, while WTI may see a slight weekly decline due to ongoing tensions and production disruptions caused by Hurricane Isaias.
