Fundamental Development Oil was down on Tuesday morning in Asia due to demand outlook concerns as top oil importer China imposes lock downs and economic tensions rise in Europe. Brent oil futures fell 0.87% to $105.02 while crude oil WTI futures slipped 0.84% to $102.22. Financial markets are reflecting fears that sanctions on Russian oil imports after its invasion of Ukraine could put some European countries in economic distress. Global financial markets have affected by concerns over interest rate hikes and recession worries. The COVID-19 lock downs in China have already led to slower export growth in the world's second largest economy in April. Crude imports by China in the first four months of 2022 fell 4.8% from a year ago. However, April imports were up nearly 7%.
