Crude oil prices saw a decline with Brent oil futures at $68.87 and WTI futures at $66.59 on Tuesday, both down by around 0.5%.
President Trump issued a 50-day deadline to Russia for a Ukraine ceasefire, threatening sanctions on Russian export buyers if no agreement is reached.
Market reaction included a 1.6% drop in ICE Brent prices despite Trump's statement, as doubts lingered on the enforcement of the imposed tariffs.
The global oil market could face a deficit if tariffs are implemented, exerting upward pressure on oil prices, though doubts exist on whether Trump would execute these sanctions.
