During the past week, Crude Oil prices dropped continuously in the wake of trade war sentiments. Investors feared that the US & China would decrease its demand as they both consume around 34% of overall crude oil consumption.
However, crude oil gained support after the shocking news from Saudi Arabia regarding oil tankers. During the Asian session, crude oil prices rose from 61.50 to 52.58 after tanker attack in Saudi Arabia. The loss of two oil tankers increases the demand for oil, and also increase fear of the shortage of fuel.
