Brent crude futures dropped significantly on July 27, 2026, trading in the range of $85-$92/barrel, down 5-9% from the previous week. This sharp decline is attributed to a pause in US-Iran hostilities and renewed hopes for de-escalation in the Middle East, easing fears of Strait of Hormuz disruptions.
