Crude Oil price climbs up
Crude oil prices moved higher on Monday. US WTI crude traded at $59.49 per barrel, up 0.3%. Brent crude futures gained 0.4% to sit at $63.20 per barrel, according to Reuters. “An unsettling calm has enveloped oil markets recently as Brent remains anchored around $63 and traders adopt a wait and see range trade mentality. All equal, we have likely entered the waiting game, with prices holding ahead of signals that demand inflects higher over the US summer driving season, and Covid related factors start easing worldwide,” said Stephen Innes, Chief Global Market Strategist at Axi.
