Oil Prices Steady After Sharp Fall, Market Caught Between Demand Fears and Supply Risks

Oil prices are holding roughly steady after suffering a drop of around 4% in the previous session, as traders weigh fears of slowing global demand against ongoing concerns about supply disruptions. Weak economic signals from major importers, including China, have raised doubts about how much crude the world actually needs in the coming months, pressuring prices lower after earlier spikes driven by geopolitical tensions and sanctions.

At the same time, the market remains very sensitive to any news about production changes from OPEC+ or disruptions at key export hubs, meaning price swings can still be large even if overall supply seems adequate. This situation shows how oil pricing is shaped not just by real barrels in the ground, but by expectations, financial positioning, and decisions taken by a relatively small circle of producers and traders.
