Oil prices edged lower on Tuesday as traders braced for reciprocal tariffs that U.S. President Donald Trump is due to announce on Wednesday. These tariffs could intensify a global trade war.
However, Trump's threats to impose secondary tariffs on Russian oil and to attack Iran fueled supply worries, limiting losses.
Brent futures settled down 28 cents, or 0.37%, at $74.49 a barrel. The session high was above $75 a barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell 28 cents, or 0.39%, to $71.20.
On Monday, the contracts settled at five-week highs.
The White House provided no details about the size and scope of tariffs that it confirmed Trump will impose on Wednesday.
"The market is getting a little jittery with less than 24 hours to go," said Bob Yawger, director of energy futures at Mizuho. "We may lose some Mexican, Venezuela and Canadian supplies, but there is definitely a chance that demand destruction could outpace those barrels," he added.
U.S. stocks finished mostly higher after a volatile session on Tuesday, as investors digested a batch of economic updates showing a rapidly cooling economy and awaited President Donald Trump's tariff update on Wednesday afternoon.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished nearly flat, at 41,989.96, according to FactSet data.
The S&P 500 was up 21.22 points, or 0.4%, to end at 5,633.07.
The Nasdaq Composite advanced 150.60 points, or nearly 0.9%, to finish at 17,449.89.
In economic data, the March ISM manufacturing index showed that U.S. manufacturers appear to have fallen back into a slump. They face rising prices and lower demand due to Trump’s new tariffs on metals and pending levies on other foreign goods.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 7.6 million job openings in February. This was a slight drop from the 7.8 million openings in the previous month.
Looking ahead, President Trump is expected to reveal his latest tariff plan after the stock market closes at 4 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday.
Judge Amit Mehta of the US District Court for the District of Columbia has ruled that the Biden administration violated the National Environmental Policy Act by moving forward with a US Gulf of Mexico oil and natural gas lease sale without adequate consideration of climate impacts and threats to an endangered whale species. The American Petroleum Institute, a party in the case, said it's weighing next steps and argued the lawsuit reflects a broader trend of environmental groups exploiting the permitting process to stall energy development.
