3. Commodities Market Insight   

WTI Crude Oil   

Fundamental Analysis:

Oil prices rose slightly on Friday, 16^th September 2022, after a spill at the Basra terminal in Iraq appeared likely to limit crude supplies. 

Yet, oil prices are still down on a weekly basis on concerns that sharp interest rate hikes will dampen global economic growth and demand for fuel. 

Both indicator contracts fell nearly 2% last week, partly due to the strength of the dollar, which has made oil more expensive for buyers using other currencies. 

The dollar index was essentially flat on the day, but rose on a weekly basis for the fourth week in five. 

So far in the third quarter, both indicator contracts are down about 20%, the largest quarterly percentage decline since the new crown epidemic began in 2020. 

The Basra Oil Company says oil exports from Iraq’s Basra oil terminal, which had been suspended Friday, 16^th September 2022, due to a spill, are gradually resuming and the situation is under control.
