China announced its biggest ever reduction in the benchmark mortgage rate, the largest since the reference rate was introduced in 2019 and far more than analysts had expected. &#8220;The fact that the crude market hasn&#8217;t responded more positively shows you the depths of the oil demand problems in China,&#8221; said John Kilduff, partner at Again Capital LLC in New York. The premium for prompt U.S. crude futures to the second-month contract more than doubled, hitting a high of $1.71 a barrel &#8211; its widest in roughly four months. This encourages energy companies to sell now rather than paying to store product for future months. The six-month spread for Brent on Tuesday was at its highest since October, a sign of a tighter market. WTI traded down $1.01 or -1.3% to close at $78.18. Brent traded down $1.22 or 1.5% to close at $82.34.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pflpetroleum.com\/reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Petroleum_Daily2202024.pdf\" download>On Mobile?
