Oil prices fell on Monday as a stronger dollar, fears over soaring COVID-19 cases around the world and the slow pace of vaccination against the virus outweighed a better-than-expected quarterly rebound for China’s economy.
Brent crude was down 16 cents, or 0.3%, at $54.94 per barrel at 1445 GMT, and West Texas Intermediate U.S. crude fell 10 cents, or 0.2%, to $52.26.
