Several factors supporting oil prices recovery

Oil prices rose on Wednesday, owing to the falling U.S. inventories and the steady economic recovery in countries – the main consumers of raw materials.

The price of London Futures Exchange Brent crude futures in August reached $75.27 a barrel, $0.46 (0.61%) higher than the closing price of the previous session.

The price of West Texas Intermediate crude futures in July in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYSE) increased by $0.35 (0.48%) to $73.2 per barrel.

The initial benchmark trading ended at $74.81 and $72.85 respectively.

The American Petroleum Institute said the day before that U.S. oil inventories had declined 7.2 million barrels in the week ending June 18, with a projected decrease of 3.625 million barrels.

Meanwhile, the country’s gasoline reserves increased by 959 thousand barrels, and distillation output by 992 thousand barrels.

The American Petroleum Institute said reserves at a major storage hub in Cushing had declined last week, while the gasoline sector had increased.

For its part, the Energy Information Administration is expected to provide data on Wednesday, reducing reserves by 3.5 million barrels, according to a Bloomberg study.

Demand for fuel is rising due to major markets, including the United States and China, which continued to recover after COVID-19.

According to media reports

According to media reports, OPEC + members have been discussing a gradual increase in oil production since August.

However, no decision has yet been taken on the exact size, and the same meeting will take place on 1 July.

Meanwhile, Iran has said that nuclear talks with world powers may continue after August and that a possible increase in fuel supplies will be postponed.

The nuclear agreement with Iran may fail, encouraging traders to purchase oil futures.

Ibrahim Raissi, who was elected President of Iran on June 18, confirmed at the first press conference that he was not prepared to negotiate with the United States until it fulfilled its commitments.

The rise in oil prices

The rise in oil prices was, therefore, supported by the suspension of negotiations on the nuclear deal between the United States and Iran,
and the increase in demand for oil, as well as the weakness of the U.S. Dollar, and by signs of a new fall in U.S. Stocks, which strengthening the bullish outlook.

Meanwhile, demand recovery in Asia remains uneven, with improvements in India and Thailand, for example, to offset poor performance elsewhere.

On the other hand, markets are awaiting the decision to exit next week’s meeting on post-July production policy
for the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and the OPEC + Group,
which is made up of some non-OPEC producing countries.

At its meeting on April 1, the group decided to gradually increase daily oil production for the months of May, June, and July.

At the OPEC+ group meeting to be held on July 1, production is expected to continue to increase due to the recovery in oil demand and prices.
