Oil Updates — Crude falls; OPEC expects demand to reach pre-pandemic levels this year 

Oil Updates — Crude falls; OPEC expects demand to reach pre-pandemic levels this year 

Oil prices eased on Monday after rising 2 percent in the previous session, as investors focused on short-term demand concerns stemming from crucial upcoming US inflation data and refinery maintenance in Asia and the United States.
Brent crude futures fell 92 cents, or 1.06 percent, to $85.47 a barrel at 08.20 a.m. Saudi time, after a 2.2 percent gain on Friday.

US West Texas Intermediate crude was at $78.81 a barrel, down 91 cents, or 1.14 percent, after rising 2.1 percent in the previous session.

OPEC says demand to reach pre-pandemic levels this year

The Secretary General of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, Haitham Al Ghais said on Sunday that the group expects oil demand to exceed pre-pandemic levels this year, reaching almost 102 million barrels a day.

Demand is projected to further rise to 110 million barrels per day by 2025, he said.

“OPEC remains committed to supporting oil market stability,” Al Ghais said in a speech at the Egypt Petroleum Show.
