Why It Matters
Oil prices are responding to the restoration of supplies through the East-West pipeline and the actions of the G7.
During trading, the exchange price of the North Sea benchmark Brent oil stabilized at around $102-103 per barrel. This is evidenced by Investing data.
At its peak, commodity prices reached $103.39 per barrel. However, closer to 14:40 Moscow time there was a rollback to $102.5.
Experts attribute the stabilization of world oil prices primarily to the increase in shipments from the Middle East. We are talking primarily about increasing the export of raw materials from Saudi Arabia as supplies through the key East-West pipeline are gradually restored.
The optimism of stock market participants was also added to the promises of representatives of the Group of Seven (G7) countries to release 100 million barrels of diesel fuel and oil from their strategic reserves. These factors together have reduced the risks of global supply shortages.
