The settlement price of the main contract of US WTI crude oil futures was 73.39 US dollars/barrel, with a decrease of 2.49 US dollars or 3.3%. The settlement price of the main contract of Brent crude oil futures was $79.94/barrel, down $2.23 or 2.7%. Oil prices hit a one-month low in the middle of the day. The strong US employment data triggered a hawkish signal from the Federal Reserve. In addition, the market was worried that the European Union would impose more restrictions on Russian refined oil.
