Oil Retreats as US Tariff Uncertainty Looms, OPEC Set to Raise Output

  • By 12:46 p.m. EDT on Thursday, Brent crude futures had declined by 56 cents, reaching a price of $68.55 per barrel, amid mixed market indicators.
  • The fall followed a stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report and uncertainty over the end of a 90-day pause on higher U.S. tariffs, which affects demand outlook.
  • U.S. crude stockpiles increased by 3.8 million barrels last week, while China's service sector grew at its slowest rate in nine months, raising concerns about demand.
  • David Laut, Abound Financial’s chief investment officer, noted the economy remains strong and anticipates the Federal Reserve will continue to adopt a cautious stance on interest rate changes.
  • The combination of expected OPEC+ output increases this weekend, tariff uncertainties, and weaker demand suggests ongoing pressure on oil prices in the near term.
