🛢️ Oil Prices Drop – What It Means for Crypto

📉 Why Oil Prices Are Dropping

Oil prices recently fell 2–4% due to easing geopolitical fears and improving supply outlook:
🕊️ Ceasefire hopes (Iran conflict) → reduced supply disruption fears
🚢 Strait of Hormuz reopening signals → smoother oil transport
📦 Rising US oil inventories → more supply in market
📊 Market stabilization expectations → less panic buying
