WTI Perp Drops 9% as Trump Pauses Project Freedom on Iran Deal Progress
WTI on Hyperliquid fell 9.06% to $94.66 after President Trump paused Project Freedom, the US military operation escorting commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz, citing progress toward a final agreement with Iran. The pause came at Pakistan's request after one day of operations, with only four ships transiting the strait versus a pre-war average of 120 per day. Spot WTI futures settled down 3.9% at $102.27 on May 5 and extended losses on May 6 as traders priced out the Hormuz war premium that has defined this market for weeks.
