Brent Crude Oil dropped below $92 today, while WTI Crude Oil at $86. However, for obvious speculation reasons, prices at the pumps won't change in the next few days, especially now that demand is increased due to August vacations. I'm really hoping that the oil prices will stay at least below $90/barrel, but I have serious doubts whether such price can be maintained. Despite the falling gas prices, inflation is still rocking high, with no intention of slowing down.
As long as it remains above $80 per barrel, oil importing nations will be under a lot of pressure. Here in India, it is like a double whammy. Indian Rupee has gone down against the USD by as much as 5% during the last 12 months. This further adds to the burden for common people. A lot of the commercial vehicle owners had converted to CNG, and now CNG here costs more than diesel. And to further exacerbate the issues, GCC nations (except Iraq) are selling their crude at a considerable premium. The EU nations are ready to pay more for Gulf oil, so the prices have gone up.
You never fail to surprise
The price of Urals oil at the auction fell below $70, this is the spot price, and you are all about "oil costs at least $80"
Understand that the oil market is a very specific topic. The spot price means that you will be sold right now and right there on the stock exchange at $69 per barrel. And for example, large buyers also receive discounts, and this is not 1-3-5%, but 10-20-50%. By the way, India and China are buying out the oil that has become unnecessary from a terrorist country, at a price .... already in the range of $ 33-35 per barrel! So I agree with your early persistent argument that "India does not buy oil from Russia for $40."
And most importantly, this is just the beginning!
PS By the way! Many thanks to India, for the fact that it has reduced the purchase of oil from the country of the world terrorist by 40%, and Indian banks refuse to work with banks from the same country!
