Oil Prices Fall On Fears Of An Economic Slowdown
Energy Economy News _ Baghdad Oil prices fell on Monday, ending three days of gains on concerns that large US interest rate increases would slow the global economy and slash fuel demand.
Brent crude futures for October settlement fell $1.17, or 1.2%, to $95.55 a barrel by 04:30 GMT, with fears of slowing demand in China due to the energy crisis in some regions also affecting prices.
US West Texas Intermediate crude futures for September delivery fell $1.12, or 1.2 percent, to $89.65 a barrel.
"Investors were concerned that a sharp Fed rate hike could cause an economic slowdown and drain fuel demand," said Hiroyuki Kinokawa, general manager of research at Nissan Securities.
"China's restriction of power in some areas is also a concern because it may affect economic activity," he added.
The strength of the US dollar, which has been hovering around a five-week high, has also affected crude oil prices as it makes oil more expensive for buyers in other currencies.
Meanwhile, the European Union and the United States said last week that they were studying Iran's response to what the European Union called its "final" proposal to revive the deal, under which Tehran scaled back its nuclear program in exchange for easing economic sanctions. The deal would significantly increase oil supply after the deal. Views 93 Added 08/22/22 - 7:59 AM Update 08/22/22 - 3:39 PM
