Oil prices volatility impedes trading amid Trump's trading policy

According to Bloomberg, the oil market experienced a sharp volatility increase after the announcement of new import tariffs by Donal Trump. Meanwhile, the decision of OPEС+ to increase production dropped prices on American oil by 7%, making the situation even more complicated.   

George Cultaro from Bank of America claims that unpredictability of tariff decisions creates difficulties for traders in risk management and mid-term forecasting.

Regardless of the temporary increase of trading volume, the current situation can lead to the reduction in liquidity, and investors have already started to withdraw funds from the oil sector, experts of Bloomberg says.  Ryan Fitzmaurice from Marex notes the formation of a negative cycle, where the expansion of trading volumes creates additional risks for market participants.
