Oil prices saw a significant drop of nearly 10% on April 17, a direct consequence of the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. In an interview with USA Today, President Donald Trump declared, “It’s over, it’s a great victory,” referring to the ongoing U.S. military engagements with Iran in the Middle East. This development pushed oil prices down to approximately $82 a barrel, with gas prices dipping another penny on Friday.
Since the onset of the conflict, the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline has fluctuated, moving from $3.48 to $3.59, then to $3.79, and currently standing at $4.08.
