Summary
· Brent
and WTI fall by more than $7 a barrel
· Analysts:
Recession fears, China COVID curbs hurt oil
· Dollar
strengthens, stock markets fall
· IEA:
Russia oil price cap should include refined products
· OPEC
forecasts slower oil demand growth in 2023
HOUSTON, July 12 (Reuters) - Global benchmark Brent
crude tumbled $7 on Tuesday to settle below $100 a barrel for the first time in
three months on a strengthening dollar, COVID-19 curbs in top crude importer
China, and rising fears of a global economic slowdown.
The sharp drop followed a month of volatile trading in
which investors have sold oil positions on worries that aggressive interest
rate hikes to stem inflation will spur an economic downturn that will hit oil
demand.
Brent crude futures settled $7.61, or 7.1% lower, at
$99.49 a barrel, its lowest since April 11. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude
was down $8.25, or 7.9%, at $95.84, also the lowest in three month.
Since their peak this year in March, Brent has
declined 29%, while WTI has fallen 27%.
Oil prices are facing extreme pressure "as a
defensive posture continues with consumer sentiment still in a depressed mode
along with a COVID re-surface in China," said Dennis Kissler, senior vice
president for trading at BOK Financial.
The dollar index, which tracks the currency against a
basket of six counterparts, also climbed earlier in the day to 108.56, its
highest level since October 2002.
Oil is generally priced in U.S. dollars, so a stronger
greenback makes the commodity more expensive to holders of other currencies.
Investors also tend to view the dollar as a safe haven during market
volatility.
Recession fears have also forced investors to dump
petroleum-related derivatives at one of the fastest rates of the pandemic era.
Hedge funds and other money managers sold the equivalent of 110 million barrels
in the six most important petroleum-related futures and options contracts in
the week to July 5
Open interest in New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX)
futures fell on July 7 to its lowest since October 2015.
Close-to-close volatility on Brent and WTI is at its
highest level since early April. Lower liquidity typically results in a more
volatile market.
Renewed COVID-19 travel curbs in China weighed on oil
prices too, with multiple Chinese cities adopting fresh restrictions, from
business shutdowns to broader lockdowns, in an effort to rein in new infections
from a highly infectious subvariant of the virus.
U.S. President Joe Biden will make the case for higher
oil production from OPEC when he meets Gulf leaders in Saudi Arabia this week,
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Monday.
However, industry insiders, sources and experts have
questioned whether, with current output of at least 10.5 million barrels per
day, Saudi Arabia really has another 1.5 million bpd up its sleeve that can be
brought online quickly and sustained.
Spare capacity within Organization of the Petroleum
Exporting Countries (OPEC) has been running low, with most producers pumping at
maximum capacity. OPEC on Tuesday also forecast that world oil demand will rise
by 2.7 million bpd in 2023, slightly slower than in 2022.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)
forecast a rise in U.S. crude production and petroleum demand in 2022 as the
economy grows.
Crude stocks rose by about 4.8 million barrels for the
week ended July 8, market sources citing American Petroleum Institute figures
said. Gasoline inventories also rose by 3 million barrels, according to the
sources. Inventory data from the EIA is expected on Wednesday.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is in Asia to
discuss ways to strengthen sanctions against Russia, including a price cap on
Russian oil to limit the country's profits and help lower energy prices.
International Energy
Agency (IEA) Executive Director Fatih Birol said that any price caps on Russian
oil should include refined products.

This Cookie Notice applies to Inpointglobal Inc. and its affiliates, which you have a contract with or which provide services to you, (collectively or individually, as applicable, referred to as 'Inpointglobal', “Company”, 'we', 'our', 'us') and the Inpointglobal websites and applications at or linked to from www.ipgplatts.com ('Websites'). This Cookie Notice explains how we use cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our websites and use our web applications. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before we place any cookies on your device that are not strictly necessary for the functioning of our Websites.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Inpointglobal) are called 'first party cookies'. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called 'third party cookies'. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first party and third party cookies for several reasons. Our first party cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Websites to operate, and we refer to these as 'essential' or 'strictly necessary' cookies. Other first and third party cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Websites. Third parties also serve cookies through our Websites for advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
The types of first and third party cookies served through our Websites and the purposes they perform are described below. Please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Website you visit. You can find details of the particular cookies that are served on each Website, and of any parties serving third party cookies, on the Cookie Preference Center on the Website banner. We encourage you to interact with different categories of cookies and adjust your preferences. Visitors without access to this functionality can use their browser settings to control how cookies are set on their devices. However, blocking some types of cookies may impact your experience of the Websites and impair the services we are able to offer. You can find more detailed information about how to control cookies later in this policy.
We use cookies on this site in four main ways:
• “Strictly necessary” cookies, which are first party cookies that must be set to allow us to deliver the Website to you and to provide specific services that you request from us. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. The services offered by our Websites that require cookies in order to function include: account log-in, shopping basket/online store, billing and comments/blog features.
• “Performance” cookies, which are first party cookies that help us to collect information about how visitors use our Websites and helps us with site analysis and improvements. Performance cookies will remain on your computer after you close your browser. We use all information collected by these cookies in aggregated form, rather than linking it to individual Website users. Where permitted by applicable law, we will deploy first party performance cookies automatically when you visit our Websites. If you opt out of, or do not allow, these cookies (as applicable), we will not know when you have visited our Websites and will not be able to monitor its performance.
• “Functionality” cookies, which allow our Websites to remember your choices or preferences, such as information on online forms or previous orders. These cookies enable you to move around our Websites and use its features such as accessing secure areas (e.g. content for registered users).These cookies allow us to offer you a personalized experience while using the Website. They are not used to track your browsing activity on other websites. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. The information gained through the use of functional cookies is anonymous and is not used for any other purpose. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
• “Targeting” cookies, which are third party cookies set through our Websites by our advertising partners. They are used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other websites. They do not directly store personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will still experience advertising but it will be less targeted to you.
How do we use Google Analytics on our Websites?
All of our Websites make use of cookies provided by Google Analytics to better understand how visitors use them. Google Analytics makes use of first party performance and targeting cookies placed through our Websites to provide us with information about users of our Websites. Google or its affiliate DoubleClick may recognize cookies placed through our Websites when you visit other websites and applications. Personal information generated by these cookies about your use of our Websites (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States of America.

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called 'tracking pixels' or 'clear gifs'). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited our Websites or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Websites to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Websites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. If you do not wish to enable such tracking, please do not download any images in such emails, or alternatively please unsubscribe from our mailing lists by updating your choices on our preference page or by following the link at the bottom of each email. In many instances, these technologies are also reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining performance cookies will impair their functioning.
In this policy, references to 'cookies' are to cookies and to the similar tracking technologies referred to above.
Do you serve targeted advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Websites. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements.
