West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil tumbled roughly 7.8% on Monday, trading near $78.45. The sell-off came as investors unwound the geopolitical risk premium built into oil prices.
Reports of a potential US-Iran agreement revived hopes for de-escalation, prompting traders to reassess supply disruption risks. The sharp intraday decline marked one of the steepest single-day drops in recent weeks.
