Oil prices jump about 4% on US-China tariff reductions

  • The U.S. And China agreed on a 90-day pause and reduction of tariffs after talks in Geneva on Monday, May 12, 2025.
  • This temporary tariff easing aims to ease ongoing trade tensions between the world's two largest crude oil consumers.
  • The agreement does not include tariffs on cars, aluminum, and pharmaceuticals, while earlier tensions from the trade war had caused oil prices to drop to their lowest levels in several years.
  • Brent crude futures rose about 4%, climbing $2.43 to $66.34 a barrel, with U.S. WTI crude also up $2.51 to $63.53, reflecting increased market optimism.
  • The tariff reduction could improve oil demand forecasts and limit trade war fallout, though analysts caution upside in prices might remain limited amid rising supply.
