These market movements occurred as oil prices fell on Monday, reversing gains from recent sessions. A non-Iranian ship successfully navigating the Strait of Hormuz eased market concerns and raised expectations for the normalization of oil traffic in the region. Lower oil prices typically reduce energy and production costs, which can help curb inflation and boost investor confidence in stocks and riskier investments. Around 5 PM, Brent crude (the international reference) was down 2.74% at $100.31, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude from the U.S. had dropped 4.94% to $93.78. Global markets also reacted favorably to pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump for European and Asian countries to help reopen traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s oil supply passes. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is expected to announce soon which countries will form a coalition to keep the strait open to navigation.
