Yes - It is dropping because the markets see that Trump has no mandate to restart his war with Iran following drubbing he took.

Markets are pricing in that there will be no escalation of the war now.

JD Vance's statement(above) clearly show the USA is setting the stage to stop the war.

Here you go :

Trump may well decide to step down and let Vance take over from here. Does Trump want to be called a "loser" for the next two years ?

Iran is still under naval blockade for nearly 4 months, which itself is an act of war. $20 price drop in a week. Zero has changed in the Strait.

Yes. Exactly. Nothing has changed in the Straits. What has changed, is the USA. What has changed is that the markets believe there will be no new escalation, and termination of the war.

Like I said last week, Iranian retaliation was being priced in. It had zero to do with SPR release. Now prices are dropping and Iran is STILL under blockade.

Prices are dropping because the markets are betting on Trump NOT initiating any military action.

But you continue to wilfully ignore the reason why prices are dropping... The reason is as plain as the nose on your face!

Exactly, but the blockade remains in place. You guys tried convincing yourselves the US, OSINT, and I were lying when we said prewar levels of oil were flowing through the Strait. I got laugh emojis for weeks. I said retaliation was being priced in which is why oil was $117. I got laughed at again. SPR release and all that?

Turns out my assessment was accurate. Oil is flowing at prewar levels despite Iranian attacks, oil prices are dropping like a rock, and Iran is still blockaded.

Or it could be that some kind of deal is done... otherwise no military action means status quo , not good enough reason for prices fall sharply.

I won't even attempt to explain it to you. You are laser focused on your Twitter reports.

This is JD trying to distance himself from the war for 28. He owns the MOU and is dead on arrival come primaries.

The war is unpopular because it’s dragged on for 8 months and people are angry about prices. Trump half measured the war and wasted months on the laughable MOU.

Maybe and that could be the worse thing imaginable for the world in general and the region specifically.

Had this been wrapped up and done in July, things could have turned out differently last night.

But, the damage is done and the Republicans paid for it. All Iran had to do was survive until the election. They have. And they are now counting on chaos in Washington starting in January.
