Oil prices fall to two-week low as trade war concerns dampen demand outlook
- On Monday, April 28, 2025, Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate oil prices fell to two-week lows amid trade war concerns in global markets.
- The price drops followed escalating US-China tariff tensions and uncertainties over Iran nuclear talks that raised fears about global oil demand growth.
- OPEC+ unexpected supply increases, rising Chinese crude inventories, and doubts about cartel unity compounded market worries about weaker demand and economic growth.
- Brent crude traded near $65.80 per barrel, down 1.60%, with WTI at $62.02, down 1.59%, as PVM and BNP Paribas analysts noted greater inclination to lower price forecasts.
- The declines suggest that ongoing trade disputes and geopolitical tensions could continue to suppress oil demand and pressure prices in the near term.
