Oil Falls on Renewed Trade War Worries
Oil prices slid to a two-week low on Monday, following stocks lower as heightened concerns over a trade war between the U.S. and China hit markets.
Light, sweet crude for May delivery fell $1.93, or 3%, to $63.01 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, its lowest close since March 19. Brent, the global benchmark, declined $1.70, or 2.5%, to $67.64 a barrel.
China imposed import tariffs on U.S. goods this week, in a response to tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum announced by the Trump administration earlier this year. Traders and analysts fear that a full-blown trade war would crimp global growth and dampen the strong fuel demand that has helped push oil prices to multiyear highs.
