WTI crude oil prices continue to trade in a sideways range between the $59.25-$57.75 area. Investors are still feeling uncertain about how Saudi Arabia can restore full crude oil output after being heavily damaged in drone attacks earlier this month. Moreover, tensions in the Middle East continue to weigh.
Despite struggles by the prime crude exporter to convince the market it can reopen full output by September end, state oil company Saudi Aramco has requested some clients to switch crude grades and delay shipments.
With that, the investor confidence in crude oil recovery has weakened, which is why the oil prices are a bit supported. The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude was at $58.73 a barrel during the Asian open but slipped lower over mixed sentiments to trade at $57.80.
