Oil Prices Rise, As Analysts Seesigns Of Stronger Outlook by Kyase(m): 11:44am On Mar 01, 2016 |
Crude futures rose yesterday after gaining over 15 per cent last week, with some indicators pointing to the possibility the market could be bottoming out. Brent futures LCOc1 had climbed almost half a dollar, or 1.2 per cent, from their previous closeto $35.51 a barrel by 0425 GMT on Monday. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures CLc1 were up 16 cents at $32.94 a barrel after gaining over 15 per cent the previous week.Analysts said that first signs of a stronger outlook were appearing after a 20-month rout that has seen prices fall by 70 per cent. “The U.S. crude market seems to have passed the worst point and crude runs should start creeping higher, taking pressure off inventory levels,” said Richard Gorry, director of JBC Energy Asia. “The latest EIA data on U.S. production is also supportive as it indicates that the low prices are finally having an impact,” he said, referring to numbers from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. U.S. shale producers cut oil rigs for a 10th week in a row to the lowest levels since December 2009, data showed on Friday, which analysts expect will lead to a production fall of600,000 barrels per day this year.Analysts have seen the first sign in twenty months of the oil market recovering. Prices are steadily going up, after the rout that wiped 70 per cent off crude’s value has calmed.“The US crude market … seems to have passed the worst point and crude runs should start creeping higher taking pressure off inventory levels. The latest EIA data on US production is also supportive as it indicates that the low prices are finally having an impact,” Richard Gorry, director of JBC Energy Asia told Reuters.He added that the downside risk remains, due to the huge excess in production and stored supplies, which are at historic highs in the US.The number of active US oil rigs has fallen by 13 per cent to 400, the lowest in more than six years, according to Baker Hughes. At the same time, American stockpiles have risen to the highest in more than eighty years.Brent crude was trading at $35.24 perbarrel, while West Texas Intermediate stood at $32.68 during Monday trading, recovering from January lows of $27.Morgan Stanley said a potential Russian-Saudi agreement to freeze output at January levels could also help crude.“Russia said production freeze agreement discussions should end on March 1 … Any news of progression could drive headlines and prices,” the bank said.However, Morgan Stanley added that the agreement between the world’s two biggest oil producers wouldn’t deal with the 1-2 million barrels per day production overhang. http://leadership.ng/business/505502/oil-prices-rise-analysts-see-signs-stronger-outlook |

I have also predicted it will rise and stabilize at around 45 dollars a barrel. If not for any other thing but for helping us achieve the budget without further borrowing. At least we know our money is safe in Buhari's hands. Unlike the Otuokean. As I type, Brent Crude is $36.59 per barrel. Moving closer to the 38$ the benchmark for the budget. 4 Likes |
