Oil prices fell during Asian trading as concerns over supply disruptions eased with more than 11,000 seafarers cleared to transit the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil shipping route. Brent crude futures dropped to $76.38 a barrel, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate fell to $72.52. President Trump criticized oil companies for not lowering gasoline prices in line with crude price declines and ordered a Department of Justice probe into fuel pricing. Experts noted that gasoline prices are influenced by taxes and refining processes, which delay price changes. The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is expected to ease supply chain pressures, but normalization may take time.
