In spite of positive moods on the equity markets, oil prices are dropping hard today. Oil extends downward move launched yesterday as concerns over high infection numbers in Covid drove fears of potential reintroduction of Covid restrictions sooner or later. Today more negative news arrived with Reuters reporting that Saudi Arabia plans to lower export prices for oil deliveries to Asia amid expectations of slower demand and flood of cheap Russian crude.
