Oil prices dropped significantly on Friday, with West Texas Intermediate falling 3.5% to $69.38 per barrel and Brent crude down over 3% to $72.88 per barrel. Both benchmarks are on track for their third consecutive week of losses, declining around 21% since early June. The price drop reflects investors' decision not to factor in heightened risks from Middle East tensions, despite warnings from Iran about shipping routes in the Strait of Hormuz. This easing of geopolitical risk has kept oil supply concerns subdued for now, but any escalation could quickly reverse the trend.
