It can be seen that world oil prices have been fluctuating strongly. In yesterday's trading session (September 24), oil prices increased sharply at the beginning of the session, then reversed and continued to increase at the end of the session. However, from the beginning of the morning session on September 25, world oil prices have reversed and decreased.
Analysts said a cut in U.S. interest rates has supported oil prices, which have been supported by falling U.S. supplies and rising tensions in the Middle East, particularly between Israel and Hezbollah, raising concerns about broader conflicts that could disrupt oil supplies.
However, factors such as the euro's sharp decline in September and China's lack of signs of recovery are putting pressure on oil prices.
