Oil Falls as Deepening Trade War Stokes Growth Concerns - Bloomberg

Oil Falls as Deepening Trade War Stokes Growth Concerns - Bloomberg:

Oil fell again Monday after its first monthly decline since May as a deepening trade war further stoked fears that fading global economic growth will hurt fuel demand. 


Futures sank below $55 a barrel in New York, having lost 5.9% in August. U.S. tariffs on a further $110 billion of Chinese imports took effect on Sunday, and additional Chinese levies on American products -- including oil for the first time -- also kicked in. Oil went as low as $54.34 after people familiar with the matter said officials are struggling to agree on the schedule to continue trade talks.
