Oil prices fell sharply Tuesday, after Secretary of Energy Chris Wright said in a social media post that the U.S. Navy had successfully escorted a tanker through the Strait of Hormuz.

U.S. crude oil was last down 10.55% at $84.77 per barrel by 2:24 p.m. ET. Brent crude, the global benchmark, was trading 9.4% lower at $89.66. Prices fell more than 17% immediately after Wright’s post.
