Brent oil prices sink

Oil prices sank today as investors’ risk appetite was hampered by trade tensions that could limit demand. Crude tracked losses in global markets after the U.S. and China dispute appeared to move further from resolution.

Brent crude was down 1.9% at $67.39 on London’s ICE Futures exchange. 

On the New York Mercantile Exchange, WTI futures were trading down 2% at $57.93 a barrel, the Wall Street Journal reported.
