  WTI crude oil has fallen roughly $3.50 to $87.70, down nearly 10% from its June 3 high near $97.00, as traders focus on improving Strait of Hormuz shipping flows over geopolitical risk.

U.S. equity indices have also turned negative, with the Nasdaq down ~1.88% to its lowest since May 5, partly attributed to news that data center developer Crusoe has paused development on its Wyoming AI campus (Project Jade).
