Oil prices have seen a significant decline following the U.S. election results, which have shifted expectations regarding the ongoing conflict with Iran. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude prices dropped sharply, reflecting hopes for a reduction in geopolitical tensions and a potential policy shift in U.S. foreign affairs. The recent elections resulted in Democrats gaining control of both chambers of Congress, which appears to have influenced market sentiment towards a de-escalation in the Iran conflict. Despite ongoing disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, the market reacted to the possibility of a reduced war premium.
