Soft data from Asia add to concerns over emerging markets and a rise in Opec production

Oil prices were mixed on Tuesday as the US-China trade war cast a pall over markets, with soft South Korean data adding to concerns over emerging markets and a rise in Opec output.

A move on Sunday by Argentina to impose capital controls is also casting a spotlight on emerging market risks. Opec, Russia and other non-members, known as Opec+, agreed in December to reduce supply by 1.2-million barrels a day from January 1 2019. Opec’s share of the cut is 800,000 barrels a day, to be delivered by 11 members and exempting Iran, Libya and Venezuela.
