22/07/2020 Argaam

 

Oil prices fell in early trade on Wednesday. Brent crude futures fell 32 cents, or 0.7% to $44 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures declined 33 cents, or 0.8%, to $41.59 a barrel.

 

OPEC and allies agreed last week to scale back oil production cuts from August to 7.7 million barrels per day until December as the global economy slowly recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

In addition, OPEC said in its monthly report that global oil demand will soar by a record 7 million barrels per day (mbpd) in 2021.
