Low Oil Prices
Economie| 09:29 - 29/09/2022 Mawazine News: Oil prices fell slightly on Thursday, after rising more than $3 in the previous session, as the dollar rose to plug demand for oil from buyers using other currencies and concerns about the faltering economic outlook clouded market sentiment.
Brent crude futures fell 41 cents, or 0.5 percent, to $ 88.91 a barrel by 03:37 GMT, while US crude futures fell 35 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $ 81.80.
Both benchmarks had rebounded in the previous two sessions after reaching their lowest levels in nine months this week after a temporary drop in the dollar index and a larger-than-expected decline in US fuel stocks raised hopes of a recovery in consumer demand.
However, the dollar index headed higher again on Thursday, reducing investors' appetite for risk and stoking fears of a global recession.
Goldman Sachs lowered its 2023 oil price forecast on Tuesday, citing expectations of weak demand and a stronger US dollar, but said disappointments in global supplies bolstered the long-term bullish outlook.
In China, the world's largest importer of crude oil, travel during the week-long national holiday is set to reach its lowest level in years, as Beijing's ongoing rules against the spread of the Corona virus push people to stay at home and economic problems dampen spending.
Citi economists lowered their forecast for China's GDP from 5% on an annual basis to 4.6% for the fourth quarter of 2022.
On the other side of the world, the European Union has proposed a new round of sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, including tighter trade restrictions, more individual blacklists and caps on oil prices for third countries.
But the 27 member states of the bloc will need to overcome their differences to implement it.
