Oil prices edge higher amid tight market and weaker dollar

Oil prices edged higher on Monday after losing steam last week due to tight market conditions and material takeaways for the energy industry from US President Joe Biden’s visit to the Middle East. Both Brent, the benchmark for two thirds of the world's oil, and West Texas Intermediate, the gauge that tracks US crude, recovered from steep declines Tuesday last week when Brent plunged nearly 7 per cent and WTI plummeted 8 per cent. Brent was up 2.78 per cent at $104 at 12.11pm UAE time on Tuesday. WTI, the gauge that tracks US crude, gained 2.57 per cent to $100.1 a barrel. "Crude oil prices continue to remain unfazed by Biden’s visit to Saudi Arabia," said Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at Avatrade. "Last week’s sell-off became an opportunity for many as investors are still betting that oil prices are unlikely to drop significantly anytime soon.

New York man indicted on hate crime charges for attacks Asian women

  The man accused of attacking seven Asian women in New York earlier this year was indicted on Monday by the state’s Supreme Court. Steven Zajonc was indicted on six felony counts of assault as a hate crime and seven counts of aggravated harassment as a misdemeanor hate crime, according to a statement from the district attorney’s office. “These attacks on seven New York women, each fueled by anti-Asian hate, are yet another sobering reminder of the demonstrable fears AAPI communities, particularly AAPI women, in our City continue to face,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in the statement. In a span of about three hours, the 28-year-old homeless man conducted a series of unprovoked attacks against women in Manhattan. He specifically “approached the women from behind before striking them in the face with a closed fist or his elbow and fleeing the scene,” according to Bragg. The women were all Asian and between the ages of 19 and 57. Six suffered injuries, such as bleedi...
