Crude oil prices plunged back near levels last seen in June as the U.S. and Iran move toward a memorandum of understanding that could lead to an immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The headline is risk-on for equities, easing a geopolitical supply concern that had supported oil and defensive positioning. The move has broad market implications because a reopened Strait would materially reduce disruption risk to global energy flows.
