"Terrorism and other geopolitical events always have the potential to bring havoc to Wall Street but early signs suggest that financial market reactions are subdued," said Gregg Laskoski, GasBuddy's senior petroleum analyst for the Southeast. "That means Friday's events are not likely to be what drives the direction of crude oil and market fundamentals can be expected to push retail gasoline prices lower in the U.S. We're already seeing that as the national average today is 6 cents lower from a week ago and wholesale prices are also significantly lower," he added.
