Gee! Tariffs are causing Crude Oil prices to drop

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/08/oil-prices-today.html

U.S. crude oil closed below $60 per barrel on Tuesday, the lowest level in four years as traders fear that President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs will trigger a full-blown, global trade war.

U.S. crude futures were trading around $61 a barrel as of 11 a.m. ET on Monday after falling below $60 per barrel earlier.

"The silver lining from the recent market turmoil is that the significant decline in oil prices will lead to a decline in gasoline prices for the consumer," Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates, told FOX Business.

The price of crude oil is the largest factor in the retail price of gasoline, making up more than half of the total cost consumers pay at the pump.
Lipow estimated that gasoline prices will start dropping as soon as this week. Over the coming weeks, there will be a decline of 15 cents per gallon, Lipow estimated.


Gee! Those tariffs are on their way to bringing gasoline prices down to pre Adolf Biden levels.

TRUMP WAS RIGHT.

That's good at least. Because otherwise, we'd probably be looking at stagflation

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP Well, it means gasoline prices will drop 15 cents a gallon by next week. That means the cost of transporting EVERYTHING is going to drop.

Already, Trump is making things better for the average working American.
@Reason10 downward pressure isn't the same thing as dropping
