An official of the Department of Energy (DOE) attributed the downtrend to low demand and a projected increase in supply, as well as a brewing ceasefire deal in war-torn Gaza.

“The current trend leans bearish due to the oil market expectations of plentiful supplies and weak demand. Likewise, the Gaza ceasefire negotiation threatens to erode the geopolitical risk premium of crude and petroleum products,” Rodela Romero, director of the DOE’s Oil Industry Management Bureau, said in a statement.
