West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil attempted a rally on Thursday after a geopolitical scare involving the Strait of Hormuz. The move mirrored a familiar pattern where the market temporarily prices in a risk premium before quickly reversing.
By the end of the session, most of the initial gains had been surrendered, indicating that traders viewed the threat as unlikely to materialize. The price action suggests the market remains skeptical of sustained supply disruptions from the region.
