Markets In Focus Today – BRENT CRUDE OIL​

Oil Prices Mixed Amid Economic Concerns And Red Sea Issues.

Oil prices were mixed on Tuesday, after posting losses the previous session, as broad economic concerns outweighed continued tensions in the Middle East that led to more tanker diversions. Some concerns over how China’s demand could pan out in the near term after the country’s central bank left the medium-term policy rate (MLF) unchanged on Monday, also weighed on oil prices. Ongoing energy market concerns continue to fret about potential supply chain disruptions and the potential for production cuts from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to take a bite out of global energy markets’ ability to meet fossil fuel demand.
