CandyKisses:  Oil climbs and Aramco confirms its strength will remain until the end of the year

Economy News _ Baghdad

Oil prices rose in early Asian trade on Monday after a brief rebellion by Russia’s Wagner private military group earlier this week, raising fears of political turmoil in Russia and its potential impact on oil supplies from one of the world’s largest producers, Reuters reports.

Brent crude futures were up 95 cents, or 1.3 percent, at $74.80 a barrel by 2300 GMT.

West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 88 cents, or 1.3 percent, to $70.04 a barrel.

The chief executive of Saudi oil giant Aramco, Amin Nasser, said on Monday that global oil market fundamentals are expected to remain strong for the rest of this year, supported by strong demand from developing countries, especially China and India.

Overall, we believe that oil market fundamentals will remain strong for the rest of the year,” he told the Asia Energy Conference.

Despite recession risks in many OECD countries, developing economies, particularly China and India, are leading to strong oil demand growth of more than two million barrels per day this year,” he said.

In the same context, the Secretary-General of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), Haitham Al-Ghaith, said on Monday that OPEC expects global oil demand to increase to 110 million barrels per day by 2045, 23 percent more than current levels.

Russia avoided a clash between the leadership in Moscow and the commander of the Wagner mercenaries, Yevgeny Prigozhin, on Saturday, after the heavily armed group withdrew from the southern city of Rostov under an agreement that halted its rapid advance towards the capital.

But the crisis has raised questions about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s grip on power and concerns about potential disruption to Russian oil supplies.

Analysts at Goldman Sachs said markets may consider a slightly higher likelihood that domestic tensions in Russia could lead to supply disruptions or have a significant negative impact on future oil supplies.

Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate crude fell about 3.6 percent last week on fears that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates again, which could undermine oil demand at a time when China’s economic recovery has disappointed investors after several months of weak data for consumption, production and the real estate market.
