Why Tanker Attacks Oil Prices More Than You Think

On June 27, 2026, a tanker was struck in the Strait of Hormuz as U.S.-Iran tensions escalate. But instead of spiking, WTI crude dropped 7.5% in five days to $69.23. Lucas and Luna explain why geopolitical risk is no longer the price driver it once was, how the market's 'war premium' has evaporated, and what that means for energy investors and consumers. They break down the disconnect between headlines and oil futures, the role of weakening demand from factory job cuts, and the surprising shift in how traders price conflict. Plus, a look at why natural gas is holding steady while oil slides, and the one number that tells you the real story. An episode for anyone confused by why oil falls when the world sounds dangerous. #OilPrices #WTI #StraitOfHormuz #GeopoliticalRisk #EnergyMarkets #CrudeOil #NaturalGas #USIranTensions #TankerAttack #DemandDestruction #FactoryJobs #FedPolicy #Inflation #EnergyInvesting #Commodities #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
