Global oil prices extended their downward trajectory after losing approximately 10% of their value over a concentrated two-day trading period. Markets are currently prioritizing geopolitical developments surrounding the Strait of Hormuz and their potential impact on global energy supplies. According to reports, the decline is primarily driven by the erosion of geopolitical risk premiums and speculation regarding regional stability, though traders remain cautious about potential maritime disruptions.
