Oil falls as Trump urges OPEC to lower prices

Oil fell 1% on Thursday after U.S. President Donald Trump urged Saudi Arabia and OPEC to bring down its cost during his address at the World Economic Forum.

Uncertainty over how Trump's proposed tariffs and energy policies would affect global economic growth and energy demand also weighed on prices.

Brent crude futures settled 71 cents, or 0.9%, lower at $78.29 a barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude (WTI) settled down 82 cents, or 1.09%, to $74.62.

Prices dipped after Trump announced he would ask Saudi Arabia and OPEC to bring down the cost of oil during his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
