Oil prices fell in the international market on Tuesday amidst hopes of escalation in crude production by the US and OPEC. Brent crude futures were down 0.4% and were priced at $71.75 per barrel. US WTI crude futures fell 0.2%, to $63.35 per barrel. The uphill journey of oil prices was offset by a statement from President Donald Trump where he openly pressured OPEC and Saudi Arabia to raise output.
