Another factor impacting the international oil market is associated with the government of Libya. Recognized by the United Nations, the government withdrew from peace negotiations with a rebel faction led by Khalifa Haftar, causing the interruption of oil production from the largest exporter in Africa due to the worsening of a civil war that has already lasted for a decade.
The National Oil Corporation of Libya reported that the country’s production fell to 1,200 barrels per day, down from 1.1 million bpd produced pre-crisis.
In the United States, oil inventories grew by 414,000 barrels in the last week, very different from the 2.5 million barrels that were expected.

Additionally, in the country, gasoline consumption was five times higher than expected, and oil exports were around 600,000 barrels per day.
