Oil climbs 4% fueled by global shortage concerns

Oil climbs 4% fueled by global shortage concerns

The price of a barrel WTI oil behaves bullish on the day by supply concerns, a few days before the meeting of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC+).

On the other hand, the price difference between the two world crude oil benchmarks, a barrel of Brent and WTI, remains at US$10, since there are larger reserves in the United States than in Europe.

Although, experts affirm that the OPEC + meeting, on Wednesday in Vienna, will not modify the production objectives for the month of September.

And that happens, despite the fact that the president of the United States, Joe Biden, asked Saudi Arabia to increase production.

However, the Saudi government is resisting due to the commitments made with OPEC+.

“Although some sources suggest that a slight increase could be addressed (at the meeting, ndlr),” said Oanda’s Craig Erlam.

“An upward trend in oil prices is expected as global demand has yet to recover and supply problems remain,” said Han Tan, an analyst at Exinity.
