On Wednesday, in the international oil market, crude prices went up, stabilising following over 4 per cent drop in the earlier session, as extended supply reduction by OPEC and its allies helped support prices despite growing worries about tepid demand. International Brent crude futures were at trading USD 62.88 per barrel up about 0.8 per cent from their last close.
Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley has cut its long-term Brent crude — the global benchmark — prediction on Tuesday to USD 60 per barrel from USD 65 per barrel, and mentioned the crude oil market is largely balanced in 2019 after OPEC and Russia agreed to extend their supply cuts by even longer than expected.
Last month, Petroleum & Natural Gas Minister Dharmendra Pradhan raised the issue of elevated crude price with Saudi Oil Minister Khalid Al Falih. So far this year, Brent has risen over 5 per cent.
"Expressed concern on the developments in the Strait of Hormuz leading to rising crude oil price. Reiterated the sensitivity of Indian consumers to prevailing oil price volatility. Sought active role of #SaudiArabia within OPEC & OPEC Plus for keeping oil prices at reasonable levels,” he had tweeted.
