Brent crude dropped nearly 1.8% to around $75 per barrel, its lowest level since February, erasing all gains tied to recent U.S.-Iran tensions. The decline follows improved oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, steady tanker traffic, and easing geopolitical concerns, which have removed the war-related premium from oil prices. The move matters because lower crude prices can reduce inflation pressures and support sectors such as airlines, transportation, and retail. However, consumers may not see immediate relief at the pump as fuel prices typically adjust more slowly. Markets are now watching whether crude stabilizes near current levels or continues to weaken.
