Crude oil futures end marginally higher on Tuesday
Dec-04-2019

Crude oil futures ended marginally lower on Tuesday after President Donald Trump suggested that he might prefer to wait until after the 2020 elections to strike a trade deal with China. He added ‘they want to make a deal now, and we will see whether or not the deal's going to be right; it's got to be right.’ Trump claimed a potential trade deal is only dependent on whether he wants to sign it, because the US is doing very well and China is having by far the worst year that they have had in 57 years.

Benchmark crude oil futures for January gained 14 cents or 0.3 percent to settle at $56.10 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. However, January Brent declined 10 cents or 0.2 percent to settle at $60.82 a barrel on London's Intercontinental Exchange.
