WTI crude oil prices rose to around $76.8 a barrel on Tuesday (21/1), as traders digested a series of executive orders from U.S. President Donald Trump following his inauguration. Among them was a plan to impose 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada starting Feb. 1, tempering investor expectations of a delay. However, Trump delayed announcing specific levies on China, the world's largest oil importer, keeping markets on edge. Traders also awaited further details on sanctions targeting major oil exporters, including Russia, Iran and Venezuela. On Monday, crude prices fell more than 1%, after Trump announced plans to boost U.S. oil and gas production by declaring a national emergency. Lower geopolitical risks also eased prices after a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. (AL)
