Abu Dhabi  - United Arab Emirates Energy Minister Suhail al-Mazrouei said on Wednesday that the trade tensions between China and the United States was a worry for the oil market, but that he was not pessimistic about the year ahead.

He also said the fluctuation and volatility in oil prices last year was counter productive and not acceptable.
