Oil prices fall on concerns over recession, China Covid curbs


SINGAPORE: Oil prices fell by more than $1 on Tuesday as concerns over a possible recession and China's COVID-19 curbs outweighed an expectation of tight global supply and a pick-up in fuel demand with the U.S. summer driving season.

Brent crude futures for July fell $1.34, or 1.2%, to $112.08 a barrel by 0606 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures for July delivery dropped $1.28, or 1.2%, to $109.01 a barrel.
