Oil Prices Fall As Demand Shrinks
Tuesday, 7 January 2025 13:20 WIB | OIL |MinyakOil,

Oil prices fell on Tuesday (7/1), extending losses into a second straight session after rallying last week, although concerns about tighter Russian and Iranian supplies amid expanding Western sanctions kept the decline at bay.

Brent crude futures edged down 8 cents, or 0.1%, to $76.22 a barrel by 0452 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 15 cents, or 0.19%, to $73.42.

Both benchmarks fell on Monday, after rising for five straight days last week and ending at their highest since October on Friday amid expectations of further fiscal stimulus to revitalize China's faltering economy.(AL)
