Crude oil prices plunged on Friday, extending Thursday's sharp losses after President Trump said a U.S.-Iran interim peace agreement could be signed this weekend and that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen soon. The comments point to a rapid easing of geopolitical risk in a critical energy chokepoint, pressuring oil and related commodity markets. This is a high-impact move for energy prices and broader risk assets.
