[NEW YORK] Oil prices increased on Thursday as traders assessed a tightening of crude supplies and new US tariffs and their expected effect on the world’s economy.
Brent crude futures gained 24 cents, or 0.3 per cent, to settle at US$74.03 a barrel. US West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 27 cents to US$69.92. On Wednesday, oil prices rose about 1 per cent to their highest since February.
Market participants were weighing escalating trade war risks. US President Donald Trump unveiled his plan on Wednesday to implement 25 per cent tariffs on imported cars and light trucks, effective next week, while those on auto parts begin on May 3.
“The biggest headwind for oil right now is the concern about tariffs, which might slow demand,” said Phil Flynn, senior analyst with Price Futures Group.
On Tuesday, Trump imposed new 25 percent tariffs on potential buyers of Venezuelan crude oil.
U.S. stocks ended lower Thursday, after struggling for direction as investors focused on new automobile tariffs and waited on Friday's release of the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge.
The blue chip Dow Jones Industrial Average ended about 155 points, or 0.4%, near 42,229, according to preliminary data.
The S&P 500 closed about 0.3% lower.
The Nasdaq Composite ended down 0.5%.
U.S. auto stocks fell sharply, including shares of Ford Motor Co., General Motors Co. and Stellantis, while those of Tesla Inc. gained.
Judge Sharon Gleason of the US District Court for the District of Alaska has reversed a Biden administration decision to cancel seven oil and natural gas leases in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, citing a 2017 tax law that reserves that authority for courts. The ruling, applauded by Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy, aligns with President Donald Trump's executive order to reinstate the leases.
