Continued High Oil Prices
Time: 03/09/2021 08:41:22 Read: 4,082 times {Follow-up: Al Furat News} Oil prices rose today, Tuesday, due to expectations of a recovery in the global economy after the US Senate approved a stimulus bill worth 1.9 trillion dollars and due to a possible decline in crude oil inventories in the United States, the largest consumer of fuel in the world.
But the rise in the dollar and reduced fears of supply disruptions from Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, after an attack on its export facilities halted price gains.
May Brent crude futures rose 57 cents, or 0.84%, to $ 68.82 a barrel by 05:13 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate crude for April rose 52 cents, or 0.78%, to $ 65.56 a barrel.
Yesterday, Monday, Brent crude prices rose above $ 70 a barrel after Yemeni Houthi forces launched drones and missiles at the heart of the Saudi oil industry, including the Saudi Aramco facility at Ras Tanura, vital for oil exports.
The attacks came after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), Russia and their oil-producing allies, known as OPEC +, last week agreed to broadly commit to production cuts despite higher crude prices.
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Monday that President Joe Biden's $ 1.9 trillion coronavirus aid package will provide enough resources to fuel a "very strong" US economic recovery. The House of Representatives has yet to pass the Senate version of the package into law.
A preliminary survey showed that stocks of crude oil and refined products in the United States likely declined last week, with distillate stocks falling for the fifth week in a row. LINK

17:19 - 08/03/2021 Information / Special ...The economic expert, Aoun Al-Defense, revealed, on Monday, that the only solution to the financial deficit is a miracle in oil prices, and it does not lie in external and domestic borrowing, as it will greatly exhaust the state budget.
