Oil prices rose during trading on Tuesday, continuing to rise for the second session in a row amid concerns about limited supply in the global market.

Meanwhile, quotes are under pressure from concerns about the state of the global economy. Fresh statistics from the US and Europe point to a slowdown in economic activity in these regions, while China narrowly avoided an economic downturn in the second quarter, according to Trading Economics.

The focus of the market this week is the meeting of the Federal Reserve System (FRS), as a result of which the US Central Bank may once again significantly increase the base interest rate. A serious tightening of monetary policy by the Fed, according to many experts, could lead to a recession in the US economy.
