OPEC said in a statement that the price of OPEC basket of thirteen crudes reached 73.58$ a barrel compared with 75.94$ yesterday.

butterfly 2021-07-08 02:04 Shafaq News/ Oil prices steadied after two days of losses amid uncertainty over supply after the collapse this week of talks among major producers which could potentially cause the current output agreement to be abandoned.
Brent crude oil futures edged lower by 7 cents to $73.33 a barrel by 0507 GMT after earlier falling to as low as $72.93. U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures were down 23 cents, or 0.32%, at $71.79 a barrel.
Brent prices have fallen nearly 5% since Monday's close after talks between the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, including Russia, known as OPEC+, fell apart when de facto leader Saudi Arabia refused demands from the United Arab Emirates to raise its output under the group's supply cut agreement.
"The oil market is looking beyond the oil supply deficit in August and expecting the OPEC+ agreement to fall apart well before April 2022 when the agreement expires as other member countries will ask for further concessions to secure more market share," said Edward Moya, senior market analyst at OANDA.
OPEC+ has restrained supply for more than a year since demand crashed during the coronavirus pandemic.
butterfly The group is maintaining nearly 6 million barrels per day (bpd) of output cuts and was expected to add to supply, but three days of meetings failed to close divisions between the Saudis and the Emiratis.
Russia is trying to mediate between Saudi Arabia and the UAE to help strike a deal to raise oil output, three OPEC+ sources said on Wednesday.
Prices found some support from a large drop in oil inventories in the United States.
Oil stockpiles in the world's biggest oil user fell by 8 million barrels for the week ended July 2, according to two market sources, citing American Petroleum Institute figures, compared with an estimate of a 4-million-barrel fall by analysts in a Reuters poll.
Government inventory data is due on Thursday, pushed back a day following the U.S. Fourth of July holiday on Monday.
U.S. oil production declines this year are expected to lessen with the Energy Information Administration (EIA) saying on Wednesday that output will be 11.10 million bpd in 2021, down by 210,000 bpd from 2020, versus its previous forecast for a drop of 230,000 bpd.
Concerns over the coronavirus, however, weighed on prices, with Japan, the world's fourth-largest oil user, set to declare a state of emergency for the Tokyo area through Aug. 22 amid a new wave of infections and South Korea reporting its highest ever daily COVID-19 cases.

Clydesdale yet another sharp pencil in the box.......He's got people signing their DNA. Guess they are blood brothers after they sign.
Intel Guru Bruce [via WiserNow] ...we know that at least 2 of the banks have NDA's that are 6 pages long...that all employees...had to sign... obviously they let the tellers in and every employee of the bank in on what is going on and what’s about to take place for them to have to sign the DNA – it’s a very good sign of how close we really are to going...
sheila Clydesdale good to know today... thanks for bringing this into chat
Clydesdale sheila Basically, see what new angles they come up with to try to keep their flock intact. Fleming gave a drop dead date just a few days ago and now he has kicked the can a few days out like he never mentioned the drop dead date. I guess I am more intrigued by the people who fall for it.
Sheila Clydesdale Don't believe we "fall" for it. Believe we search for hope. Hope is fuel for the soul, in my opinion. For the record, I read many postings and do not pay one cent for any subscriptions. So all they are taking is my time. And those are my choices.
Clydesdale sheila And I don't remember directing my comment directly at you.
Clydesdale Hopium can be very addictive. I'll believe it when I am at the bank.
Sheila Clydesdale No you didn't. I was explaining for myself and others like me. We hope. We pray. Ultimately we believe as you do - when I/we get to the bank and get that exchange receipt. Wow - what a day that will be.
Sheila Clydesdale No slight intended.
Clydesdale sheila Understood.
Sheila Question for chat: Does anyone have information about buying Bolivar?

butterfly After the Ain Al-Assad base… the US embassy is under attack and sirens sound in the Green Zone
7-8-2021 After the Ain Al-Assad base... the US embassy is under attack and sirens sound in the Green ZoneThe US embassy in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, came under a missile attack today, Thursday, in renewed attacks targeting US forces in Iraq and Syria, at a time when Washington blames Iranian-backed militias for the instability of Iraq.
Al-Jazeera correspondent in Baghdad stated that the embassy responded to the attack through its defense system, and sirens sounded inside the Green Zone in central Baghdad, where the US embassy is located.
Media close to armed factions said that the attack was carried out with a missile and a booby-trapped drone, and that the missile was launched from the Rusafa area of Baghdad.
On the other hand, the Iraqi Security Media Cell said that an “outlaw” group had targeted the Green Zone in Baghdad at dawn on Thursday with 3 Katyusha rockets, and added in a statement that the first missile fell near the headquarters of the National Security Agency, the second fell in the celebrations square, and the third In a residential neighborhood near Sheikh Omar area.
The media cell confirmed that these actions will be confronted strongly by the security services, which will follow up on the intelligence and field those who carried out them, according to the statement.
In a related context, local sources said that an explosive device exploded at dawn today, targeting trucks providing logistical support to the American forces in the south of the country.
The sources added that an explosive device planted on the international highway, between the provinces of Basra and Dhi Qar, exploded the moment a convoy of trucks affiliated with Iraqi companies contracted with the US army to provide logistical support passed.
butterfly Al-Jazeera correspondent in Baghdad stated that the security forces spread widely in the surrounding areas and close to the camps of the American forces, especially in the military wing of Baghdad Airport.
The sites where US forces are located in Iraq and Syria have been subjected to multiple attacks during the last 24 hours.
The first attack took place in Erbil, in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, where the region’s Counter-Terrorism Commission announced, on Tuesday evening, that Erbil International Airport was attacked by a booby-trapped drone, without causing any damage or stopping air traffic.
At midday on Wednesday, a spokesman for the International Coalition confirmed that the “Ain al-Assad” base had been targeted with 14 missiles, amid reports of minor injuries.
Simultaneously, in Syria, the so-called “Syrian Democratic Forces” announced that they had thwarted a drone attack inside the “Al-Omar oil field” area in the east of the country, and said that initial reports did not indicate any damages as a result of the attack.
Returning to Iraq, the government denounced the attack on the Ain Al-Asad air base, where US forces are located, less than 24 hours after targeting Erbil International Airport with a bombed drone.
An unknown armed faction called the “Revenge of the Engineer Brigade” claimed responsibility for the attack, vowing to force the US forces to withdraw from the country. For his part, the coalition spokesman vowed to respond, saying that reports indicate two minor injuries, and that the damages are being assessed.
For his part, US State Department spokesman Ned Price said that the recent attacks in Iraq reflect the danger posed by Iranian-backed militias to the stability of that country.
butterfly Abu Alaa al-Wali, the Secretary-General of the so-called “Sayyid al-Shuhada Brigades,” had vowed to carry out a qualitative operation to avenge the American forces in response to an operation carried out by American drones about 10 days ago.
He added – during a television interview – that this operation may be land, air, or even sea, and it may be in the Kurdistan region or any place where US forces are located within the Iraqi borders.
The director of Al Jazeera’s office in Baghdad said that the recent attacks were claimed by factions with unknown names, which may support that they are just names behind which the known armed factions in Iraq are hiding. rawabetcenter.com
butterfly Economist: We will witness a major crisis next year if the dollar continues at its current price
2021-07-08 Economist - We will witness a major crisis next year if the dollar continues at its current priceEconomic expert Ihsan Al-Kinani stressed, on Thursday, the need for the government to issue a decision to reduce the value of the dollar before holding early elections, pointing out that continuing at the current price will create a major crisis in the next year, especially since after the elections, the authority will be a caretaker.
Al-Kinani said in a statement to “The Information”, that “the economic blockade imposed by the current government will not be changed if elections are held and the dollar exchange rate remains as it is now.”
He added, “Next year may witness a daily caretaker government, which cannot manipulate the budget items or take a decision to change the dollar exchange rate voted on by Parliament until after forming a new government, and this may be delayed for more than 6 months at least.”
Al-Kinani explained, “The dollar exchange rate will exceed the value currently assessed, due to the exploitation of merchants and banks for the presence of the caretaker government, and therefore an economic crisis and a significant rise in prices may be witnessed in Iraq during the next year due to unstudied government measures.” burathanews.com
