Oil Prices Plummet as Diplomats Dance with War and Peace The Strait of Hormuz has been a focal point for oil markets in recent weeks, with concerns about a prolonged closure sending crude prices soaring.
However, on Thursday, reports emerged that the US and Iran were making progress towards a diplomatic resolution to their conflict, causing a sharp reversal in oil prices.
This development led to a rebound in stocks, as the S&P 500 Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq 100 Index all rose on Thursday.
