US West Texas Intermediate crude futures eased 17 cents, or 0.2% to $74.05. It had also settled near a four-month low on Monday after sliding 3.6%. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies, together known as OPEC+, on Sunday agreed to extend most of their oil output cuts into 2025 but left room for voluntary cuts from eight members to be gradually unwound from October onward.
