  "account": "According to a Kyodo news report, Iran's senior official has announced that the country will reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the United States eases military pressure. This development comes after a decline in oil prices, with WTI Oil falling 1.65% to near $90.00. The Strait of Hormuz is a crucial passage for approximately 20% of global energy supply. Oil prices are influenced by factors such as global growth, political instability, OPEC decisions, and the value of the US Dollar. The weekly Oil inventory reports from the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the Energy Information Agency (EIA) also impact WTI Oil prices. OPEC, comprising 12 Oil-producing nations, collectively decides production quotas, which can affect oil prices. When OPEC lowers quotas, it tightens supply, pushing up prices; conversely, when it increases production, it has the opposite effect.",
  "summary": "According to a report from Kyodo news, a senior Iranian official has said that Iran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint to almost 20% of global energy supply, within seven days if the United States (US) takes initial steps toward easing military pressure.",
