Concerns over an increase in Omicron variant cases around the world drove down global oil prices on Monday, decreasing oil demand predictions.

At 0740 GMT, international benchmark Brent crude was trading at USD71.21 per barrel, down 3.14 percent from the previous session’s close of USD73.52 per barrel.

At the same time, the American benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) was trading at USD68.28 per barrel, down 3.64 percent from the previous session’s close of USD70.86 per barrel.

While entering the Christmas season, health officials in the United States advised individuals to receive booster vaccinations and use masks.
