Crude Oil Market Update: Crude Oil Slips as Geopolitics Cool and the Demand Drops

Crude oil prices extended losses, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) sliding sharply below the $63 per barrel mark. The selloff comes as easing geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran reduce supply risk premiums, while weaker-than-expected global demand projections add further pressure.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) trimmed its global oil demand outlook, citing softer growth across Asia and a lingering supply surplus. Meanwhile, comments from the Israeli President suggested progress toward a potential agreement between US President Donald Trump and Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, cooling fears of escalating Middle East tensions.

WTI has fallen more than 3.5% from the day’s open and is approaching the key $62 level near its 200-day EMA — a technical zone traders are watching closely.

“When geopolitical heat fades and demand cools, crude prices tend to follow.”
