Where it stands
Oil prices have risen following attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, which have brought safety concerns back to the forefront. Simultaneously, oil futures have slipped while remaining near pre-conflict levels, and CNBC reports that focus has shifted toward demand and supply recovery.
Coverage from NBC News highlights the impact of the attacks, while local outlets such as Greenville Online, WSTM, and WMUR report that gas prices are currently falling. The New York Times notes that gas stations benefit when these prices begin to drop.
Future price movements remain uncertain as WPTZ questions if the current downward trend in gas prices will persist given the flaring violence in the Strait of Hormuz and warnings from experts regarding the Russia-Ukraine war.
