Oil prices rallied in the global commodity market on Monday as the U.S. slammed higher tariffs on its major suppliers, Canada and Mexico with a 10% tariff hike on China. Brent crude rose by 0.03%, trading at $76.33 per barrel, while the US benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) increased by 0.2%, reaching $73.56 per barrel.

The oil market rebounded on Tuesday following a strong bearish trend that plunged crude prices lower on Monday following Israel’s retaliatory attack on Iran at the weekend. While it is still not clear if and how Iran will retaliate, the market is clearly of the view that supply risks have eased for now, ING said in a note.
