Crude oil prices continued to slip after President Trump announced possible tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico, raising concerns of escalating trade wars. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) traded near $75.78 a barrel, while Brent settled at $79.29, reflecting market uncertainty. The potential for higher tariffs has weighed heavily on oil markets, making energy commodities less appealing to global buyers.

Metric | Current Price | Change | Reason for Change |
WTI (March Delivery) | $75.78 per barrel | Slight Decline | Tariff threats and trade war concerns |
Brent (March Settlement) | $79.29 per barrel | 1.1% Lower | Strengthening dollar and market tensions |
Trump’s consideration of a 10% tariff on China, alongside threats of levies on Canada and Mexico, has sent ripples through global markets. With Canadian crude shipments surging to the US ahead of the potential tariffs, analysts expect increased costs for American refineries, which could result in higher gasoline prices.
The rising dollar has compounded challenges, as oil becomes more expensive for international buyers. Despite these headwinds, US sanctions on Russia have kept oil prices higher year-to-date by disrupting physical oil flows and tanker availability.
As global trade tensions escalate, crude oil markets face volatility driven by geopolitical factors and economic uncertainties. The potential for additional sanctions on Russia and fluctuating energy policies underlines the complexity of predicting future crude oil price movements.
Crude oil prices remain under pressure as trade war fears and tariff threats dominate market sentiment. Global dynamics, including sanctions and currency fluctuations, will continue to shape the trajectory of crude oil price trends in the coming months.
