Oil prices ease as traders assess US tariffs, OPEC+ output hike

Oil prices eased on Tuesday after rising almost 2 per cent in the previous session, as investors assessed new developments on U.S. tariffs and a higher-than-expected OPEC+ output hike for August. Brent crude futures dropped 21 cents at $69.37 a barrel by 0041 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude fell 24 cents at $67.69 a barrel. U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday began telling trade partners, which included major suppliers South Korea and Japan as well as smaller U.S. exporters like Serbia, Thailand and Tunisia, that sharply higher U.S. tariffs will start August 1, marking a new phase in the trade war he launched earlier this year. Trump's tariffs have prompted uncertainty across the market and concerns they could have a negative effect on the global economy and, consequently, on oil demand. However, there are some signs current demand remains strong, particularly in the U.S., the world's biggest oil consumer, which has supported prices. A record 72.2 million Americans were projected to travel more than 50 miles (80 km) for Fourth of July vacations, data from travel group AAA showed last week. Investors were bullish heading into the holiday period with data from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission released on Monday showing money managers raised their net-long futures and options positions in crude oil contracts in the week up to July 1. Regarding supplies, on Saturday the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies, a group known as OPEC+, agreed to raise production by 548,000 barrels per day in August, exceeding the 411,000-bpd hikes they made for the prior three months. The decision removes nearly all of the 2.2 million-bpd of voluntary cuts and analysts at Goldman Sachs expect OPEC+ to announce a final 550,000-bpd increase for September at the next meeting on August 3. However, the actual output increase has been smaller than the announced levels so far and most of the supply has been from Saudi Arabia, analysts said.

Apple's top AI executive Ruoming Pang leaves for Meta, Bloomberg News reports

Apple's top executive in charge of artificial intelligence models, Ruoming Pang, is leaving the company for Meta Platforms, Bloomberg News reported on Monday, citing people with knowledge of the matter. Pang, manager in charge of the company's Apple foundation models team, will join Meta's new superintelligence team for a compensation package worth millions of dollars per year, the report added. Meta and Apple did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment. The development comes as tech giants such as Meta aggressively chase high-profile acquisitions and offer multi-million-dollar pay packages to attract top talent in the race to lead the next wave of AI. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has reorganized the company's AI efforts under a new division called Meta Superintelligence Labs, Reuters reported last week. The division will be headed by Alexandr Wang, former CEO of data labeling startup Scale AI. He will be the chief AI officer of the new initiative at the social media giant, according to a source. Last month, Meta invested in Scale AI in a deal that valued the data-labeling startup at $29 billion and brought in its 28-year-old CEO Wang.

Trump unveils 25% tariffs on Japan, South Korea in letters to leaders

WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump on Monday (Jul 7) began telling trade partners - from powerhouse suppliers like Japan and South Korea to minor players - that sharply higher US tariffs will start Aug 1, marking a new phase in the trade war he launched earlier this year. The 14 countries sent letters so far, which included smaller US exporters like Serbia, Thailand and Tunisia, hinted at opportunities for additional negotiations while at the same time warning that any reprisal steps would be met with a like-for-like response. Trump said on Monday that the United States would impose 25 per cent tariffs on Tunisia, Malaysia and Kazakhstan; 30 per cent on South Africa, Bosnia and Herzegovina; 32 per cent on Indonesia; 35 per cent on Serbia and Bangladesh; 36 per cent on Cambodia and Thailand and 40 per cent on Laos and Myanmar. "If for any reason you decide to raise your Tariffs, then, whatever the number you choose to raise them by, will be added onto the 25 per cent that we charge," Trump said in letters, released on his Truth Social platform, to Japan and South Korea. The higher tariffs take effect Aug 1, and notably will not combine with previously announced sector tariffs such as those on automobiles and steel and aluminium. That means, for instance, that Japanese vehicle tariffs will remain at 25 per cent, rather than the existing 25 per cent sector tariff climbing to 50 per cent with the new reciprocal rate as has occurred with some of Trump's tariffs. The clock has been ticking for countries to conclude deals with the United States after Trump in April unleashed a global trade war that has roiled financial markets and sent policymakers scrambling to protect their economies. Trading partners got another reprieve as Trump signed an executive order on Monday extending the Wednesday deadline for negotiations to Aug 1. Trump has kept much of the world guessing on the outcome of months of talks with countries hoping to avoid the hefty tariff hikes he has threatened. The rate for South Korea is the same as Trump initially announced, while the rate for Japan is 1 point higher than first announced on Apr 2. A week later, he capped all of the so-called reciprocal tariffs at 10 per cent until Wednesday. Only two agreements have so far been reached, with Britain and Vietnam. South Korea said it planned to intensify US trade talks and considers Trump's plan for a 25 per cent tariff from Aug 1 as effectively extending a grace period on implementing reciprocal tariffs.
