After Monday evening’s plummet, Brent flat price continued to cool a little today. It closed Asian trading at $74.17/bbl and looks nearly ready to move lower again. Not quite yet though, as Brent appears to have found some support around the $74/bbl mark. The scale of the price drop following the Washington Post headline demonstrates that the market is still very nervous about any Middle East-centred headlines, although it has largely calmed down from overhyped fears that the passage of tankers through the Strait of Hormuz could be disrupted. Look back to the Tanker War in the 1980s, no one would want this, but it didn’t stop the flow of oil anyway.
