The price of oil recovers and reaches new highs of almost 12 months
The price of oil is close to its 12-month highs from the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, after announcing a possible decrease in inventories in the United States and a production cut by Saudi Arabia. These expectations minimise the impact of the new mobility restrictions in Europe, for now, in order to curb the contagion of the virus which is weighing down on the recovery of oil demand.
The price of Brent futures, the oil reference in Europe, with delivery in March, exceeds $56 a barrel, accumulating a rise of just over 9% for January so far. Us benchmark WTI, with delivery in February, also saw a similar rise this month, hovering above $53 a barrel. Today, both of them registered an upturn of more than 1% after 12 noon CET.
