For the 24 hours to 23:00 GMT, the Crude Oil declined 0.71% against the USD and closed at USD47.76 on Friday, amid fears that Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from Paris climate pact would increase US oil production and contribute to a persistent global oversupply.

Additionally, prices remained under pressure after Baker Hughes reported that the number of active oil drilling rigs in the US jumped by 11 to 733 rigs last week.

In the Asian session, at GMT0300, the pair is trading at 47.88, with the crude oil trading 0.25% higher from Friday’s close.
