Oil Prices Drop Amid U.S. Push for Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal
Oil prices went down because the U.S. is trying to make peace between Russia and Ukraine.
This could mean Russia can send more oil to other countries.
However, it's not sure if a peace deal will happen soon.
Also, the U.S. dollar became stronger, which makes oil more expensive for people using other currencies.
Some important people in the U.S. talked about whether to change the interest rates, which could affect how much oil people use.
