Oil down as uncertainty over OPEC+ supply cuts, demand growth weigh


NEW DELHI: Oil futures reversed course after rising briefly on Monday amid persistent pressure from the OPEC+ decision and uncertainty over global fuel demand growth, although the risk of supply disruptions from the Middle East conflict limited the losses.

Brent crude futures were down 0.9%, or 73 cents, to $78.15 a barrel by 0735 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures were at $73.43 a barrel, down 0.8%, or 64 cents.
