1249 ET - Oil futures are lower and showing little reaction to the EU's Russia sanctions and the approach of the U.S. tariff deadline, while pondering the supply and demand situation after the high-demand summer season.

WTI is off 0.4% at $67.10 a barrel, and Brent is down 0.4% at $68.98. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
