Oil prices fell in early trade on Tuesday after weak Japanese industrial production data, not usually a market-moving factor, was enough to jangle trader nerves over a bumpy recovery in fuel demand as coronavirus pandemic restrictions ease.

Brent crude LCOc2 futures for September fell 32 cents, or 0.8%, to $41.53 a barrel, paring Monday’s 92-cent gain. There were no early trades on the August contract, which rose 69 cents on Monday and expires on Tuesday. Japan reported industrial output for May fell 8.4% in May from the previous month, compared with market forecasts for a 5.6% decline.

Bulls will be looking for more signs of a demand recovery in data due on Tuesday from the American Petroleum Institute industry group, and from the U.S. government on Wednesday.
