Oil prices dive further on Strait traffic hopes

World oil prices extended sharp losses Friday on optimism for traffic flows in the Strait of Hormuz despite the suspension of a U.N. evacuation program.

The price of Brent North Sea crude, the international benchmark, dived more than five percent to around $71.50 a barrel and the main U.S. contract, West Texas Intermediate, shed 4.5 percent to under $69.
