Oil market declines after reaching multi-year highs


February, 07 2022
watermark Economic news

Brent oil started today with an increase to the level of $93.99 per barrel, continuing to update multi-year highs. The last time the price of oil reached the area of $94 in 2014. The price of North American WTI oil is located near $92.70. 


Analysts note that the main support for quotes is provided by expectations of maintaining a limited supply against the backdrop of recovering demand.


An additional growth factor is the continuing concern due to geopolitical risks, as well as doubts about OPEC's ability to supply in sufficient volume and the cooling in the United States. Experts believe that the deterioration of the geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe may lead to an increase in the price of oil to the region of $ 120 per barrel. 


However, following the highs, a technical correction is possible. That's what we see on the charts of the movement of oil quotes today. After the morning growth to the level of $94 per barrel, prices fell to $91.20. However, the reason may lie not only in the correction. Today it became known that negotiations between the United States and Iran on the resumption of the nuclear deal are probably close to completion, which will lead to an increase in the level of oil supply.
