Oil prices tumble to four-year low as US-China trade war fuels recession fears

News RoomBy News RoomApril 9, 2025

crude oil prices have experienced devastating declines in the price range over the past four years, underscoring global economic uncertainty and the impact of rising global trade tensions. The U.S. faces significant challenges from a series of aggressive tariffs, as its benchmark Brent crude oil futures have dropped by over 19% to $60.41 per barrel, reflecting a 104% import duty on American products. In response, China has argued its actions will "fight to the end" to avoid further trade disputes, while the U.S. insists on enforcing the same 104% tariffs. Both countriesリストed on major energy exchanges are grappling with heightened trade competition from the largest economies in the world, further fueling market volatility.

Highlighted by a播出的 economists Dilin Wu at Pepperstone Australia, the ongoing war is driving a series of economic bottlenecks. The U.S. may see a weaker dollar and higher prices, particularly for oil now, as the broader market faces an extended sell-off. This decline has already been triggered by the U.S.-China trade摩擦, as both countries cited theirMMdd’s inability to meet demand to push the market toward caution. China, it is noted, even.sinning long positions to safeguard its oil production amidst the threat.

Meanwhile, the U.S. also reacts to subtle attempts by the U.S. to reduce trade关税 by barely accelerating production cuts in countries like Venezuela. However, the rise of so-called "secondary tariffs" by the U.S. on other major exporters, including Iran and Russia, may partially offset China’s production cuts. Yet, the Fed’s outlook for the U.S. economy faces a deliberate view unfavorable by the global market, with anchor to a Tuesday delayed report on its monthly Short-Term Energy Outlook (SLead) by the U.S. Energy Info Administration. This action, particularly on Tuesday, could急于 embark on an outburst as early signals of-boundary issues start to emerge.

Indicates that, amid these volatile situations, the economic outlook for key growth-sensitive commodities is far worse than projections. Metals and preciouscommunications, including copper and iron ore, have been hit hard by declining demand as global tpor trade conflicts deepen. This decline has been most pronounced for copper and gold, with copper futures on the Comex rail already 19% lower from 19%.

Meanwhile, the price survey for Brent crude oil, which originally was set for Tuesday, now promised to appear on Thursday. This omission resulted in Goldman Sachs cutting its forecasts for Brent crude by 36% by the end of the year to $40 per barrel. However, Wu commented that whether or not crude prices will head even this low, the broader outlook suggests a deeper recession is winding down.

China is no stranger to such volatility, beginning long-term as its domestic demand struggles to keep up with global production, while facing growing external demand from Member States. The government has also unveiled ambitious stimulus measures, including an even-bigger budget deficit of 4% for 2025, as part of its push for disrupted trade matters.*eToro Australia says the rise of China-sense commodities is causing a blunting of the broader market. Australia’s biggest mining giant, BHP, already is on its third bear session since October 2020, with the company’s shares costing investors pockets.

In contrast, in Europe, other加速 news is curbing the growth potential for mining powders, with Glencore’s shares dropping 16% to their low point since December 2020, while Anglo American’s shares fell another 14% to a one-year low. This decline is dragged by the fact that other than oil, metals and precious, many other mining challenges have been thrown into shape. Seven months after its stocks crashed, the gold price at 6%, pushed to its lowest since September 2024, while silver, a Alyti coin, dropped 13% since the same earlier date.eToro Australia, quoted by Josh Gilbert, said that the fact is, "the unfortunate part of this is that if China sneze, Australia is likely to catch a cold." Month before, the U.S. stock market, which in turn, is also under wracking of negative emotions amid the ongoing trade friction. In Europe, the situation is slightly simplier, with Glencore, the leading European mining company, dropping 16% to a low following the departure of the EU’sPositions assessment.(eToro Australia says the global mining sector’s decline is weighing in negatively on mining shares globally andq eventually, for Pete Siegl,analyze-car GBP Your name网站 which indicates that selling positions on energy-based commodities have become increasingly sensitive.
