Concerns about demand have become the main market tone. Brent crude oil fell to a six-month low at one point, while US oil fell more than 4% during trading hours.

Despite the significant escalation of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East this week, which once briefly pushed up crude oil prices, the concern about economic recession has become the main market sentiment, and investors are worried about the demand for crude oil. Oil prices fell sharply on Friday, falling for four consecutive weeks, marking the longest decline since December last year.
