US Crude started the week just under $39.50 and had dropped further in the first 2 days of trading, the news yesterday afternoon saw the commodity gain 0.04c to end the day at $38.32 and Brent looked set to break back over the $40 mark in today’s trading.
US Crude could start to slip again, pump prices are close to their 52wk low and imports are still seeing the same levels as last month.
The recent low price of oil has had a huge impact on the markets globally as investors move away from the energy commodity, many seeing opportunities in the equity markets, particularly in the US.
