0941 ET - Crude futures are lower as the participants consider the potential impact of U.S. trade tariffs on different countries, a report that sanctions are having limited effect on Russian oil exports and a weak Chinese manufacturing reading for January. The lower-than-expected Chinese PMI "has most traders back in the camp that Asian demand will be slower to come back," Dennis Kissler of BOK Financial says in a note. WTI is off 0.5% at $74.30 a barrel, and Brent is down 0.4% at $78.20 a barrel. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
