World oil prices

Brent crude oil prices also fell 1.32% to $72.78 a barrel. In one week, Brent crude oil prices have fallen 11%, about $9.
Data from the US and China show that global oil demand is weakening. Manufacturing in China fell to a six-month low, and manufacturing activity in the US was also weak.
US crude inventories fell by 7.4 million barrels, much larger than the expected 900,000-barrel drop. US gasoline and distillate inventories also fell, by 300,000 barrels and 400,000 barrels, respectively.
Although demand is not looking optimistic, a change in supply could change the market outlook, according to analyst Phil Flynn. Mr. Flynn also emphasized that oil prices could rise again due to a decrease in US oil inventories.
