Crude prices dropped Monday, as energy markets digest poor factory data from China and Japan, and prepare for OPEC and its oil-producing allies to decide September output later in the week. West Texas Intermediate futures, the U.S. oil benchmark, traded lower by roughly 1.5% on Monday, while international benchmark Brent crude futures fell around 1.1%. WTI and Brent declined for the second-straight month in July as recession concerns weighed on prices, their first two-month losing streak since October 2020. The group known as OPEC+ is set to meet Wednesday to discuss whether to keep September output plans steady or modestly increase production.

This coming Friday morning, a key economic report will be released when the Labor Department is expected to say the U.S. economy added 250,000 new nonfarm jobs in July.

The unemployment rate is anticipated to hold steady at 3.6% for the fifth month in a row, just slightly above the pre-pandemic level of 3.5% in January and February 2020, which was the lowest since May 1969.
