“Oil prices have declined over the last week following President Trump’s speech at the World Economic Forum, where he urged Saudi Arabia to lower oil prices by restoring production. The downturn in oil has caused gas prices to stabilize for the time being, with crude now more than $5 per barrel below where it was a couple of weeks ago,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “As we approach the February 1 deadline for potential U.S. tariffs on Canada and Mexico – key sources of crude oil imports – we’ll be monitoring for any potential impact, including the possibility of retaliatory tariffs. For now, I remain hopeful that tariffs won’t materialize, and gas prices could stay relatively stable over the next few weeks, at least until the seasonal rise in prices begins in mid-to-late February.”
