Crude oil prices dipped Friday as tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz improved, easing supply disruption fears.

While geopolitical risks linger, oil shipments through the strait have seen an uptick following a ceasefire. Venezuela’s oil production may also face challenges due to power outages following recent earthquakes.
