April WTI crude fell $5.21 (-5.28%) and April RBOB gasoline declined $0.0411 (-1.35%) on Monday as crude sold off sharply. The drop was driven by hopes that oil tankers may soon be able to transit the Strait of Hormuz (reports of several tankers safely moving), reducing the regional geopolitical risk premium and putting downward pressure on oil prices.
