By the Numbers
Brent oil prices rose to $102 a barrel yesterday, but ended the day at $100.69. Today, it fell to $99.63, a 1% decline. US crude oil WTI was trading at $91.02 at the same time.
The decline in oil prices was due to the US-Iran tensions not causing a significant physical supply loss as expected, and the expectations of a US Federal Reserve interest rate hike, which could curb oil demand. International Energy Agency (IEA) President Fatih Birol stated that the crude oil market received support from balancing factors, such as Gulf producers transporting oil through alternative routes and countries like the US, Brazil, Venezuela, and Kazakhstan increasing their exports to offset supply losses.
