Oil prices continued to decline due to Libya's oil production resuming and OPEC+ plans to increase output amid weak demand from China. Brent crude dropped 0.57% to $73.33 per barrel, while U.S. WTI fell 0.65% to $69.88. China’s economic slowdown and falling PMI data, alongside concerns about oversupply, have been major factors in the price slump. Libya’s production recovery, following a local blockade, added further pressure, and key OPEC+ members signaled plans to increase output by 180,000 barrels per day.
