Oil Falls With The Increase In Corona Injuries
Economie| 09:03 - 07/22/2021 Follow - Mawazine News Oil prices fell Thursday, after an unexpected rise in US crude oil inventories and with the increase in Covid-19 infections threatening demand, but prices maintained most of their gains from the previous session amid expectations that supplies will continue to be short until the end of the year.
Brent crude fell 40 cents, or 0.58 percent, to $71.81 a barrel at 0510 GMT, after rising 4.2 percent in the previous session. US West Texas Intermediate crude fell 36 cents, or 0.51 percent, to $69.94 a barrel, after rising 4.6 percent on Wednesday.
“Energy volatility remains elevated as traders grapple with weak demand in the short term due to variable delta concerns and expectations that the crude oil deficit will continue through the end of the year,” said Edward Moya, chief analyst at OANDA.
US Energy Information Administration data showed crude inventories in the United States, the world's largest oil consumer, unexpectedly rose by 2.1 million barrels last week to 439.7 million barrels, for the first time since May.
However, gasoline and distillates recorded withdrawals of 121,000 barrels and 1.3 million barrels, respectively, indicating higher demand due to the summer driving season.
Analysts from Citi said that with OPEC+, which includes the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies such as Russia, unlikely to reach the market soon and Iran negotiations postponed, the most significant risk to market fundamentals remains deteriorating demand due to the new virus restrictions.
Oil prices fell earlier this week after the OPEC + agreement to boost supplies by 400,000 barrels per day from August to December. https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=161346
