Oil Prices Reach Highest Level in Nearly 2 Months Amid Concerns Over Supply and Demand, Economic Growth, and Geopolitical Risks.

The oil market saw a significant increase this past Friday, with Brent crude rising $1.12 or 1.36%, reaching $83.55 per barrel, the highest since November 30. This was the result of positive economic growth in the United States and signs of Chinese stimulus, which boosted demand expectations and added further support to supply concerns in the Middle East.

With stronger-than-expected GDP growth in the fourth quarter in the U.S., easing inflation data, ongoing geopolitical risks, and a larger-than-expected drop in U.S. oil inventories, Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) prices saw weekly gains of over 6%, marking the largest increase since October. This movement is a direct reflection of the raw material that has driven the global market.

The Oil Market Ends the Year With a Positive Close

Oil ended the year with appreciation in the international market, reaching $50 per barrel. The demand for crude oil remained stable, even with concerns about capital reduction in sector investments. Independent analysts state that the supply of oil will continue to face challenges in 2021, due to geopolitical risks and slow economic recovery in some countries. The raw material has also been influenced by the announcement of OPEC production cuts and uncertainties regarding the global GDP.
