Oil prices settled about 2% lower on Friday with a large weekly loss after weaker-than-expected US August jobs data. Brent fell to $71.06, its lowest since December 2021, and WTI fell to $67.67, its lowest since June 2023.
The jobs data pointed to a slowing labor market that may not justify a big Federal Reserve rate cut, outweighing support from an OPEC+ delay to supply increases.
Weaker demand expectations and reduced odds of aggressive Fed easing pressure crude and energy-linked prices lower. Lower crude tends to weigh on biofuel economics and on soybean oil and corn-based ethanol margins, with feed-cost implications for buyers.
