Global Oil Markets Rattle as Tariff Tensions Spark Price Drop



Oil prices plunged to their lowest level in five months after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to sharply increase tariffs on Chinese imports. The announcement reignited fears of a prolonged trade war, sending shockwaves through global markets.

Western Canada Select also slid about 3%, reflecting the broader downturn in energy markets. Analysts say the tariff threats have raised concerns about weakening global demand for oil, compounding pressure from rising OPEC production and geopolitical uncertainties.

The selloff extended beyond energy, with global stock markets also retreating as investors shifted to a risk-off stance. While lower oil prices could ease costs for consumers, the decline poses challenges for producers already navigating volatile market conditions.

For now, the energy sector faces renewed turbulence, with trade policy once again proving to be a powerful driver of global commodity prices.
