Crude Oil Prices Fade As US-China Talks Progress

Crude oil prices were down on Tuesday amidst uncertainty over trade talks between China and the United States continued, although the outcome remains uncertain. WTI oil closed down by $0.31 to settle at $64.98 per barrel. August Brent crude was last seen down by $0.03 to $67.01. To ease the standstill created by the reciprocal tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump and China, high-level officials from both nations convened at London on Monday to discuss steps to soften the conflict. As the talks went on for the second day today, Trump told reporters at the White House that the talks were "going well" and that he was "only getting good reports." While U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described Monday's talks as "good meeting," the Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick called them as "fruitful." On the geopolitical front, however, Russia showed no sign of relenting on its war with Ukraine and continued its attacks. Limiting the downside, the U.S. Energy Information Administration has reported today that US crude oil production is likely to decline over the next 18 months - while the approach of the summer driving season is also good news.
