Tishwash: Oil fell 1% due to the rise in the US dollar and expectations of an increase in supply
Oil prices fell on Friday as the collapse in bond prices led to gains for the US dollar and expectations have grown that as oil prices return to pre-pandemic levels, more supply will likely find its way into the market.
US West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell 96 cents, or 1.5 percent, to $ 62.57 a barrel, giving up all Thursday's gains.
Brent crude for April delivery, which expires on Friday, fell 86 cents, or 1.3 percent, to $ 66.02 a barrel, after losing 16 cents on Thursday.
May's more active contracts fell to a low of $ 65.04 a barrel earlier, dropping 93 cents, or 1.4 percent, to $ 65.18.
"Crude oil has modestly retreated from recent highs amid an atmosphere of risk aversion as Asian stocks fell broadly to follow the weak performance of Wall Street," said Margaret Yang, strategy at Singapore-based Daily Fix.
She added that the selling in the bond market, which led to the rise of the US dollar and increased returns, puts pressure on primary commodities that do not yield returns.
The rise in the US currency increases the cost of oil priced in dollars to buyers of crude in other currencies.
Despite the drop in prices today, Brent and West Texas Intermediate crude oil is on its way to achieving gains of about 20 percent since the beginning of this month, as markets are experiencing turmoil in the United States, while optimism about improved demand increases with the distribution of vaccines against the Corona virus.
Investors are betting that a meeting next week of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies, the group known as OPEC +, will result in more supplies returning to the market.
US crude prices are also facing adverse factors due to the loss of refinery demand after the closure of several facilities on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico during a winter storm last week link
