आंकड़ों में
The barrel price of Brent crude oil rose to $84.98, and WTI rose to $79.79, seeing its highest level in the past month. In addition to the increasing geopolitical tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, the production decline experienced in Kazakhstan was effective in the price increase. Experts state that geopolitical concerns are reflected in oil prices and that an increase of more than 10 dollars has been recorded in the value of Brent crude oil since the beginning of the month.
Having experienced its highest daily increase in the last six years the previous day, Brent crude oil gained approximately 10 percent in value. Despite this, OPEK+ continues its efforts to increase production due to concerns over the slowing global economy and falling oil demand. Ramazan Dosov, an analyst at the Kazakhstan Financiers Association, states that OPEK has lowered its demand expectations for 2026 for the third consecutive month.
On the other hand, Kazakhstan's oil production in the first half of the year fell by more than 8 percent. Oil and gas expert Anuar Kojabekov attributes this decline to the decreased production in the Karachaganak field and disruptions at the damaged Orenburg Gas Processing Plant. However, experts evaluate that thanks to high oil prices, Kazakhstan's budget revenues were not negatively affected along with the new tax law.
