In the New York crude oil market on the 14th, the WTI futures price, which is an indicator of international trading, temporarily fell to the $80/barrel range. This is a 5% drop compared to last weekend. With President Trump of the United States agreeing to talks to end the hostilities with Iran and announcing that the Strait of Hormuz will be opened, there is growing hope among investors that supplies such as crude oil from the Middle East will recover.
