Oil Steady as Investors Weigh Impact of Trump Tariffs

Oil prices were little changed on Tuesday as markets weighed the impact of newly announced US tariffs on countries that buy Venezuelan oil and the uncertain outlook for global demand.
Brent crude futures were up 1 cent at $73.01 a barrel by 0424 GMT. US West Texas Intermediate crude dipped 1 cent to $69.10, Reuters said.
Both benchmarks gained more than 1% on Monday after US President Donald Trump announced a 25% tariff on countries importing oil and gas from Venezuela. Oil is Venezuela’s main export and China, which is already the subject of US tariffs, is its largest buyer.
“Investors fear Trump’s various tariffs could slow the economy and curb oil demand, but the prospect of tighter US sanctions on Venezuelan and Iranian oil constraining supply, along with his swift policy shifts, make it difficult to take large positions,” said Tsuyoshi Ueno, senior economist at NLI Research Institute.
“We expect WTI to stay around $70 for the rest of the year, with potential seasonal gains as the US and other countries enter the driving season,” he added.
Last week, the US issued new sanctions intended to hit Iranian oil exports.
However, crude eased back from its session highs after the Trump administration also on Monday extended a deadline to May 27 for US producer Chevron to wind down operations in Venezuela.
The withdrawal of Chevron’s license to operate could reduce production in the country by about 200,000 barrels per day, ANZ analysts wrote in a note.
Oil prices were also pressured by economic concerns amid mounting global trade tensions.
Trump also said automobile tariffs are coming soon even as he indicated that not all of his threatened levies would be imposed on April 2 and some countries may get breaks, a move Wall Street took as a sign of flexibility on a matter that has roiled markets for weeks.
Meanwhile, OPEC+, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies including Russia, will likely stick to its plan to raise oil output for a second consecutive month in May, four sources told Reuters, amid steady oil prices and plans to force some members to reduce pumping to compensate for past overproduction.
Investors were also monitoring talks to end the war in Ukraine, which could increase supply of Russian crude to global markets.
US and Russian officials wrapped up day-long talks on Monday focused on a narrow proposal for a ceasefire at sea between Kyiv and Moscow, part of a diplomatic effort that Washington hopes will help pave the way for broader peace negotiations.
