Samson: Oil prices continue to rise amid fears of tight supplies
22nd September, 2022
Oil rebounded today, Thursday, as fears of tight supplies with the onset of winter overshadowed fears of a global recession
Brent crude futures rose 50 cents, or 0.6%, to $90.33 a barrel by 03:19 GMT, offsetting losses in early Asian trade, and US West Texas Intermediate crude rose 45 cents to $83.39. Both benchmarks fell to nearly two-week lows on Wednesday after the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 75 basis points for a third time to tame inflation
Meanwhile, some Chinese refineries are considering increasing operations in October, eyeing increased demand and a possible reversal of Beijing's fuel export policy, which could boost demand for crude oil but analysts at "Citi" said in a note that oil prices remain under selling pressure due to the build-up of inventories and the deteriorating economic outlook
US crude stocks rose by 1.1 million barrels in the week ending September 16 to 430.8 million barrels
A higher dollar also put a lid on oil price gains as it makes crude oil more expensive for many buyers. The dollar index touched a 20-year high against a basket of other currencies on Wednesday LINK
