Impact of Geopolitical Tensions on Oil Prices
Despite ongoing airstrikes by Israel and the United States against Iran, which have been escalating since Saturday, oil prices experienced a decline on Friday. This marks the first drop in prices since the conflict began.
Market analysts attribute this decrease to emerging indications of potential U.S. government intervention aimed at curbing the rising costs of crude oil.
