World Oil Futures Prices Drop as Financial Markets Show "Risk Aversion" Sentiment
27 February 2023
On Monday morning, the prices of oil futures experienced a slight decline worldwide, likely due to a general decrease in prices across financial markets indicating a "risk aversion" sentiment among traders. May futures for Brent crude dropped by 0.36% to $82.52 per barrel, while April futures for WTI fell by 0.29% to $76.1.
Global financial market traders, including those trading oil futures, seem to be avoiding risky investments, as evidenced by the 1% drop in major US stock indices on Friday and a continuing decline in Asian markets on Monday.
Traders' attention has now shifted towards the economic outlook as the US Federal Reserve is expected to keep increasing the discount rate. Concerns of a potential recession are impacting views on the demand prospects for oil, which is negatively affecting quotes.
