OIL HOLDS STEADY AS SUPPLY RISKS AND FED POLICY DRIVE TRADING.

Oil prices steadied after last week’s rally as traders weighed supply risks against the broader economic outlook, with Brent holding near $68 a barrel and WTI above $63, supported by hopes of looser U.S. monetary policy after the Federal Reserve signaled potential rate cuts. While the Fed’s dovish tone has buoyed risk assets and fueled optimism for stronger global demand, geopolitical friction remains at the forefront, with Washington threatening to double tariffs on all Indian imports to 50% in response to New Delhi’s continued reliance on discounted Russian crude—an escalation that could ripple through global trade and energy markets. At the same time, uncertainty lingers over OPEC+ output, Russian export resilience, and faltering peace efforts in Ukraine, where U.S. President Donald Trump has oscillated between promises of “massive sanctions” on Moscow and suggestions that Washington may ultimately hold back, leaving markets to navigate a delicate balance between short-term boosts from economic stimulus and longer-term headwinds tied to geopolitics and oversupply fears.
