Brent crude fell nearly 16% over the week, its steepest weekly decline since April 2020, after an 8.7% single-session drop. UBS cautioned that depleted global inventories could limit further downside, and noted a recent decline in US commercial crude stocks.
The sharp fall reflects a reduced geopolitical risk premium as Gulf shipments normalize, which lowers diesel and energy input costs for feed makers. UBS's inventory argument suggests prices may find support rather than continue falling sharply.
