WTI crude futures declined during the pre-market session after reports that potential new diesel supplies from Russia could ease global fuel shortages. The United States government has temporarily lifted some sanctions on Russian fuel, which may increase global supply. This development is currently overshadowing ongoing supply risks from recent attacks on energy infrastructure in the Middle East, which had pushed prices higher in the previous session. Adding to the bearish sentiment, OPEC also recently lowered its forecast for global oil demand growth.
