World oil prices today
World gasoline and oil prices recorded a sharp weekly decrease. At the end of a trading week, WTI crude oil was at 96.57 USD/barrel last weekend, down to 83.85 USD/barrel this weekend. Overall last week, WTI oil decreased by 12.72 USD/barrel, equivalent to a decrease of 13.2% compared to the previous week.
Brent oil was at 95.20 USD/barrel last weekend, down to 90.38 USD/barrel this weekend. Overall last week, Brent oil decreased by 4.85 USD/barrel, equivalent to a decrease of 5.1% compared to the previous week.
Thus, this is the second consecutive week of deep decline in world oil prices. Previously, both commodities also decreased by 13.7% and 13% respectively. Over the past two weeks, WTI oil prices decreased by more than 25%, while Brent oil decreased by more than 18%.
According to analysts, world oil prices fell sharply last week as markets increased expectations for the next rounds of negotiations between the US and Iran to end the multi-week conflict.
Notably, Iran's announcement of opening the Strait of Hormuz during the remainder of the ceasefire agreement immediately eased concerns about the risk of disruption to global energy supplies.
However, analysts warn that if negotiations do not achieve positive results, oil prices may return to the peak level set in March, in the context that global oil inventories are at risk of continuing to decline in the third quarter and beyond.
The total amount of crude oil interrupted in the Middle East has now reached nearly 500 million barrels, putting great pressure on global supply. Meanwhile, US blockades of ships leaving Iranian ports still significantly paralyze the country's maritime trade activities.
The fact that transportation through the Strait of Hormuz has not been fully restored means that global oil reserves continue to be eroded, especially putting pressure on fuel supplies in major consumption areas such as Asia and Africa.
Observers believe that although large-scale attacks have not occurred, traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has not improved significantly, thereby continuing to put pressure on the energy market and global financial systems.
