Energy Markets & PricesCommodities & Raw MaterialsCommodity FuturesGeopolitics & WarTransportation & Logistics

August WTI crude fell $2.69, or 3.74%, to a fresh 4-month low, while August RBOB gasoline dropped 7.65 cents, or 2.64%. The decline reflects weaker energy prices and heightened concern around tankers moving out of the Persian Gulf, which could signal shifting supply dynamics. The move is notable for energy markets but is still primarily a commodity-price update rather than a broad market catalyst.
