Oil prices fell due to renewed concerns about the US banking sector after California-based lender First Republic lost 40% of its deposits in the first quarter. A stronger US dollar also weighed on oil prices. US consumer confidence declined in April for the third time in four months. The oil market has already seen a fair amount of weakness over the last week as falling refinery margins raised concern about demand.
