Oil prices continued their downward trend amid growing concerns that the ongoing global trade conflict is dampening demand. Recent economic indicators revealed increasing pressure. China has also intensified its resistance to the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration.
Brent crude dropped toward the $65 barrel mark for the second consecutive day, while Texas Intermediate slipped below $62. A key manufacturer index showed a sharp decline, underscoring the economic impact of the trade measures.
Despite the dip in prices during April, the market remains under strain, indicating a potential supply tightness. A notable sign of this is that the June oil contract is more expensive than the July contract, reflecting immediate demand.
This price difference is the wildest it has been in nearly three months.
The Investment Bank noted, “Although the immediate market impact might be minimal apart from supporting additional short covering from underinvested hedge funds, this action indicates an immediate change. Potentially, it signals the White House’s willingness to sacrifice a low oil price to achieve broader strategic objectives, isolates Iran and Venezuela, and increases pressure on China.”
