Oil prices slipped on Thursday after a turbulent trading session, reflecting fading optimism from early-year gains. Persistent concerns over global demand and uncertainties in the economic outlook have weighed on crude benchmarks, with traders reassessing the sustainability of recent rallies.

Market volatility has been fueled by mixed signals, including resilient U.S. economic data and weaker-than-expected demand forecasts from key consumers like China. The combination of supply dynamics and shifting demand patterns has left oil prices vulnerable, with Brent crude and WTI both posting consecutive declines.

Analysts note that the energy market remains heavily influenced by broader macroeconomic trends. Renewed fears of tighter central bank policies and slower growth globally have dampened the bullish sentiment that dominated the start of the year. Geopolitical tensions, which had initially supported prices, have also eased, reducing immediate risks to supply chains.

As traders look ahead, upcoming U.S. inventory data and updates from OPEC on production cuts are expected to provide direction. Without stronger demand signals or unexpected supply disruptions, oil prices may struggle to regain momentum, keeping markets on edge for the near term.
