Oil Prices Varied Due To Production Cuts Due To Two Hurricanes And The Increase In Corona Injuries
Editing date: 08/25/2020 16:33 • 32 times read [Follow_Wine] Oil prices varied on Tuesday as traders study the impact of a large part of production being halted on the coast of the United States on the Gulf of Mexico due to Tropical Hurricanes Marco and Laura, in exchange for the rise in Corona cases in Asia and Europe.
Brent crude futures rose 14 cents, equivalent to 0.3 percent, to $ 45.27 a barrel by 0700 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate crude fell four cents, equivalent to 0.1 percent, to $ 42.58.
"The increase in the number of American rigs last week and the disparity in the data on Corona injuries had a limited negative impact on oil this week, thanks to a possible disruption due to two separate hurricanes heading to the US coastal region on the Gulf," said Stephen Ince, chief global market expert at AxiCorp.
Energy companies have reduced production at refineries on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico in the United States after closing 82 percent of offshore crude oil production in the region, as the rare blow of two hurricanes on major oil-producing areas in the United States threatens to bring heavy rains for several days and strong winds this week.
Producers have halted oil production of more than 1.5 million barrels per day on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, which represents about 14 percent of total US production.
A Reuters poll on Monday showed that US crude stocks were likely to have fallen for the fifth consecutive week, while stocks of refined products also fell last week. http://www.alliraqnews.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=98833
