World oil prices today
World oil prices on November 23 (Vietnam time) increased sharply. At the end of the weekend trading session, WTI crude oil was at 70.70 USD/barrel, up 0.93 USD/barrel, equivalent to an increase of 1.33%. WTI crude oil closed the previous trading session at 70.10 USD/barrel, opening today's session at 70.11 USD/barrel.
Brent crude oil was at $75.17 a barrel, up $0.94 a barrel, or 1.27 percent. Brent crude oil closed the previous session at $74.23 a barrel and opened today at $74.29 a barrel.
Thus, world oil prices have just had two consecutive strong increases, closing the weekend trading session with a strong increase of more than 1% after ending the previous session with a nearly 2% increase.
The escalation of tensions between Russia and Ukraine has raised geopolitical tensions beyond levels seen during the more than year-long conflict between Israel and Iran-backed forces, analysts say.
Market attention has now shifted to growing concerns about the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, analysts said. Russia is the world’s second-largest crude exporter after Saudi Arabia, so a major disruption there could impact global supplies.
What the market fears is the destruction of any oil, gas and refining facilities, as this would not only cause long-term damage but would also accelerate the spiral of conflict.
China, the world’s largest oil importer, announced policy measures this week to boost trade, including supporting energy imports, amid concerns the United States will impose steep tariffs on Chinese imports.
