Crude Oil Prices Fall Amid Uncertainties Over Stimulus Package

Meanwhile, OPEC+ said it is almost fully complying with output cuts to support prices, amid a fall in fuel demand due to the COVID-19 crisis.

Reuters quoting sources reported that compliance with the producer grouping oil output cuts was seen at around 97% in July.

Meanwhile, a panel of OPEC+, called the Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC) is set to hold a meeting later in the day. At around 03:30 AM GMT, WTI crude fell 0.5% to $42.66 a barrel. Brent crude also declined 0.5% to $45.16 a barrel.
