| CRUDE OIL +0.35% |
| Crude oil prices fell 6.63% yesterday as a result of OPEC+ decision to increase production from August 2021. The market punished the price of crude oil, as a result of the delay of the cartel decision, and also due to the pressure that the Delta variant is generating on the demand for physical crude oil. Crude oil supply is expected to increase by 5.3 million barrels per day, reaching a total of 96.4 mbd. Analysts assess the probability of demand to consume much of the level of supply. The increase of cases of the Delta variant in the UK is increasing sharply. |
