Crude Oil is trading today in the Asian session below the $78 level.
Oil prices declined in Asian trading on Monday following a Friday survey that revealed weaker U.S. consumer demand and an increase in China's May crude production, the largest crude importer globally.
This drop came after oil prices fell on Friday due to U.S. consumer sentiment hitting a seven-month low in June, with concerns about personal finances and inflation.
Despite these declines, crude still saw an almost 4% rise last week, marking the highest weekly percentage increase since April, driven by indications of stronger fuel demand.
