By 09:10 Moscow time, April futures for U.S. crude oil, West Texas Intermediate (WTI), had fallen by 0.54% to $66.68 per barrel. Meanwhile, May futures for global crude oil, Brent, dropped by 0.45% to $70.04 per barrel, according to trading data.
Analysts at ING said in a note that "uncertainty surrounding the tariffs is the main driver of the weakness," adding that "oil price cuts from Saudi Arabia and contraction signals from China have also hurt sentiment."
