Oil drops on Hormuz supply hopes

Brent crude fell to $82.92 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate declined to $80.66, amid uncertainty about the final details of the deal and weak global demand. Morgan Stanley analysts expect that the return of oil flows could take several weeks, with forecasts of a 50% recovery of the affected production by September.
