Oil Prices Make a Slight Comeback: A 1% Rise After Recent Plunge Amid Trade War Fears

Recovery in Oil Prices

After a significant drop to a four-year low, crude oil prices experienced a slight rebound on Tuesday. This fluctuation comes in the wake of heightened fears of a global recession, triggered by United States President Donald Trump's announcement of reciprocal tariffs.

Market Response

The market's reaction was immediate, with a notable selloff following the announcement. However, by early Tuesday, signs of recovery were evident.
