World oil prices are recovering weakly on Tuesday after falling below the level of $100 per barrel. A day earlier, Brent was trading at $103.25 per barrel. The possible prospects for a reduction in oil supply and a decrease in demand in the markets led to an increase in prices yesterday. Investors' fears intensified after the statement by the Saudi Energy Minister that OPEC may cut production. At the same time, expectations of an increase in demand appeared after the statement of the famous entrepreneur Elon Musk that humanity may soon need more oil and gas, since without fossil energy carriers «civilization will collapse.» In addition, the situation in Libya affects the dynamics of the oil market. Over the weekend, clashes between two armed groups took place in Tripoli, as a result of which more than 30 people were killed. This has raised fears that Libya is waiting for another full-scale conflict, as a result of which oil supplies to the world market will be reduced. Meanwhile, the volume of production in the country remains at the same level of 1.2 million barrels per day, as reported by the state-owned Libyan oil company National Oil Corp.
