: Oil continues to see weakness amid more positive rhetoric regarding US/Ukraine and an agreement.
What it means
The ongoing weakness in oil prices is likely linked to improving diplomatic relations between the US and Ukraine, which could signal reduced geopolitical tensions and concerns over supply disruptions. This shift in sentiment may be prompting traders to reassess their positions, suggesting a potential reallocation of risk in energy commodities. Keep an eye on whether this momentum translates into a sustained trend or if the underlying supply-demand dynamics can counteract it.
