- U.S. crude shipments to Europe hit a two-year low as buyers opt for cheaper oil.
- Economic slowdown might lead the Federal Reserve to consider rate cuts, boosting oil demand.

However, a rebound in purchases could occur in July and August. The ADP Employment report showed private payrolls increased by 150,000 in June, missing expectations, while the ISM Non-Manufacturing index fell to a four-year low.
This economic slowdown might prompt the Federal Reserve to consider rate cuts, potentially boosting oil demand. Despite the decline, U.S. crude and fuel stockpiles fell more than expected, providing some support to prices.
