Crude oil eases as markets react to hopes of Ukraine-Russia ceasefire
Global oil benchmarks eased on Thursday after renewed optimism around potential ceasefire talks between Ukraine and Russia, which could unlock previously sanctioned Russian supply. Brent crude dropped about 0.5% to $62.80 a barrel, while U.S. WTI slipped 0.6% to $58.33. Traders said expectations of increased output amid easing sanctions outweighed recent supply disruptions.
