Oil Stability With The Rise Of The Dollar And Mixed Indicators Of Supply
Energy Economy News – Baghdad There was little change in oil prices on Tuesday, after they fell to their lowest level in three weeks in the previous session amid a rise in the dollar, a bleak outlook for the global macro economy, and mixed indicators related to supply.
By 1359 GMT, Brent crude futures rose six cents to $90.77 a barrel, and US West Texas Intermediate crude rose 34 cents to $89.16 a barrel. Prices had fallen by more than one percent earlier in the session.
ANZ analysts said in a note to clients, “Brent crude prices fell to (about) $90 per barrel, with rising US yields and the strength of the dollar dominating market sentiment.”
“While supply remains limited, higher interest rates mean expensive storage of inventories. This could lead to further drawdown of oil stocks,” they added.
Yesterday, Monday, the dollar rose to its highest level in 10 months against a basket of major currencies after the US government avoided a partial closure and economic data reinforced expectations that the US Federal Reserve would keep interest rates high for a longer period or even raise them again.
Higher interest rates, coupled with a stronger dollar, make oil more expensive for holders of other currencies, which could lead to lower demand for it.

Points to Ponder From Aristotle:
Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them.
Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.
Even when laws have been written down, they ought not always to remain unaltered.
He who is to be a good ruler must have first been ruled.
I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self.
In a democracy the poor will have more power than the rich, because there are more of them, and the will of the majority is supreme.
Inferiors revolt in order that they may be equal, and equals that they may be superior. Such is the state of mind which creates revolutions.
