Oil prices have fallen sharply, with Brent crude dropping below $80 per barrel, amid hopes of a potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz following statements from the U.S. and Qatar indicating progress in negotiations with Iran. The statements confirmed that an agreement is being considered to increase the movement of energy carriers through the strait, which could help alleviate the supply shortages caused by regional disruptions. Despite diplomatic optimism, shipping activity through the strait remains weak due to security concerns, and Gulf exports are still significantly below pre-war levels. It is expected that Brent prices will remain between $80 and $90 until the negotiation results become clearer or an escalation occurs.
