The US data released on Wednesday pointed to signs of weakness in the labor market and some cooling in the economy. This comes on top of China’s economic woes and adds to concerns about a slowdown in global economic growth. This, in turn, is anticipated to dent long-term fuel demand and is seen as a key factor exerting downward pressure on Crude Oil prices. That said, persistent supply risk stemming from the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East should act as a tailwind for the black liquid. In fact, tensions between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah, so far, have shown little signs of de-escalating.

Meanwhile, the incoming softer US economic data reaffirms market bets that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will start cutting interest rates in September and lower borrowing costs again in December.
