Crude prices finally increase after severe drop


Date:

(MENAFN) Oil prices have witnessed a rebound in global markets, after going through a drastic decline, which saw crude prices drop below USD30 a barrel for the 1st time in more than 12 years.

Additionally, the international market is anxious to stop the exacerbating supply glut that has been putting a tremendous downward pressure on the market for the past 18 months.

Furthermore, demand has been growing but it has been outpaced by a progressive supply, and rather than cutting production back OPEC have decided to keep it at their current levels.

Moreover, influential OPEC members led by Saudi Arabia have been rejecting to reduce high production level preferring to fight for market share against rival producers, particularly the US.
