U.S. crude oil prices dropped below $81 per barrel, a dip not seen since March, signaling the market's limited concern over potential new sanctions on Iranian oil. The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude has fallen beneath its 50-day moving average for the first time in several months, down from the year's high of $87.62. This decrease in price reflects the easing of geopolitical tensions as Iran and Israel move away from the prospect of a broader conflict, despite the recent exchange of strikes.
