Oil Prices Rise 3% In The Last Sessions Of The Week, And Brent Is Above $113

Energy   Economy News-Baghdad   Oil rose more than 3% by the end of trading Friday, supported by a lack of supply, amid weekly stability in Brent prices, and a limited decrease in Nymex prices by 0.3% on a weekly basis, with continued fears that higher interest rates may push the global economy into recession.

Brent crude futures rose $3.07, or 2.8%, to $113.12 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose $3.35, or 3.2%, to $107.62 a barrel.

On Thursday, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said the US central bank's commitment to curb inflation was "unconditional", raising concerns about additional interest rate hikes that would cast a shadow over financial markets, Reuters reported.

Oil this year approached an all-time high of $147, which it reached in 2008, with the Russian invasion of Ukraine exacerbating supply shortages at a time when demand is recovering from the effects of the "Covid-19" pandemic.

Crude prices rose due to the almost complete shutdown of production in Libya, a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, due to the unrest. The Libyan Oil Minister said that the head of the National Oil Corporation withheld production data from him, which raises doubts about the numbers he issued last week.

OPEC members and its allies meet in the framework of the so-called OPEC + group on June 30, and are expected to agree to stick to an earlier plan to accelerate the pace of small increases in oil production in July and August, rather than pumping more oil.   185 . views   Added 06/25/2022 - 10:15 AM  Update 06/25/2022 - 6:29 PM https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=28630
