Oil futures settled lower for a sixth straight session Thursday—their longest losing streak since February—and marked their lowest settlement in about five weeks.
Market jitters over the looming U.K. referendum on whether to leave the European Union, a so-called Brexit, fueled concerns about a potential slowdown in energy demand and a recent rise in the number of U.S. rigs drilling for oil pointed to a possible uptick in crude production levels.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, July West Texas Intermediate crude CLN6, +0.67% fell $1.80, or 3.8%, to finish at $46.21 a barrel. That marked the lowest close since May 13. August Brent crude LCOQ6, +1.00% fell $1.78, or 3.6%, to settle at $47.19 a barrel on London’s ICE Futures exchange.
