WTI Remains On The Defensive Near $71.00 Amid A Rise In US Oil Stockpiles, Concern About US-China Trade

Additionally, China put several companies, including Google, on notice for possible sanctions in a measured response to Trump’s tariffs.  On Wednesday, Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian called OPEC members to unite against potential US sanctions after Trump’s announcement of resuming the “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran during his first term. Meanwhile, Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister […]
