🛢Another good day for oil: + 1.5%

Both oil benchmarks are gaining ca. 1.5% today, although at some point crude oil rose by 2%. Prices rebounded thanks to the problems of the US dollar and the prospect of maintaining stimulus by the Fed. In addition, some speculation has emerged that Chinese authorities may introduce targeted support to key sectors such as manufacturing and infrastructure. Nevertheless, a key factor that is likely to affect the medium and long-term prospects for the oil market is increasing global mobility also in China, despite the recent introduction of new restrictions. The rebound in mobility is not very significant yet, but it gives hope for an improvement in the demand situation in the coming weeks.
