Oil prices are dropping because the U.S. dollar has been gaining strength against almost every other world currency in recent months. There’s really nothing more to it than that.

A little more than that. But the dollar strength is certainly lowering the dollars per barrel cost.

Note the recent change in the price per barrel/gold.

It would be nice to see that graph overlayed on a second Y-axis showing the nominal dollar price of oil.
