The dip follows a brief surge that pushed the benchmark past $100, a threshold highlighted by CNBC as hinging on China’s next demand moves. Quantum Commodity Intelligence notes crude drifting lower west of the Suez Canal while LSGO crack spreads rebounded, suggesting narrowing margins in that corridor.
Axios adds that the combination of higher oil prices and rising interest rates will test market resilience. With China’s consumption outlook still undefined, the next price direction hinges on whether demand picks up or supply constraints tighten further.
