Oil edged lower on Friday alongside a broader market decline as the recovery in consumption remains uncertain. Brent for April settlement lost 6 cents to $55.04 a barrel. The March contract, which expires Friday, increased 35 cents to $55.88 a barrel. But while headline prices have been treading water, the futures curve is pointing to a more balanced market as OPEC+ output curbs and restrained US shale production help further draw down inventories accumulated during the pandemic. The nearest contracts for both Brent and West Texas Intermediate have moved further into a premium relative to the next month, a pattern known as backwardation that signals tighter supplies and strong demand. At the same time, low processing rates from refiners are keeping fuel supplies more or less in check. The incentive for processing a barrel of oil is growing, with the combined refining margin of gasoline and diesel back near levels last seen in May. Once vaccines are widely distributed, “we’re probably going to have the biggest surge in demand ever, at least year-over-year, and we’re not going to get the supply response we normally got” from US shale producers, said Jay Hatfield, CEO at InfraCap in New York. “So price is going to have to be the moderating variable.” With inputs from Bloomberg Tags Diesel energy February fuel oil petrol UAE UAE Fuel Price Follow-up Committee 0 Comments You might also like Flying Taxis: How Archer aims to revolutionise travel in the UAE UAE to announce petrol, diesel prices for January; will rates drop in 2024?
