Los precios del petróleo continúan cayendo, Trump afirma que las negociaciones con Irán han logrado "un progreso muy importante"

Golden Finance reports that on May 6th, oil prices declined for the second consecutive day, with U.S. President Donald Trump stating that significant progress has been made in finalizing an agreement to end the war with Iran. WTI crude futures fell below $100 per barrel, down 3.9% on Tuesday; Brent crude futures closed near $110 per barrel. Trump posted on Truth Social that the U.S. will suspend efforts to push ships through the Strait of Hormuz, but the maritime blockade will continue. Since the outbreak of conflict at the end of February, Brent crude prices have risen over 50%, with hundreds of millions of barrels of Persian Gulf oil unable to enter the global market. Currently, the strait is under dual blockade, hindering oil transportation through this critical passage, as Tehran obstructs shipping and the U.S. prevents ships from entering or leaving Iranian ports. Earlier, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters at the White House that the “Epic Fury Operation” has ended, and 66 days have passed since the U.S. and Israel began bombing Iran. He said, “We have achieved the objectives of the operation.”
