Crude Oil Rebounds as Supply Concerns Reemerge

Brent Crude: futures jumped more than 1% to above $104 per barrel on Wednesday after losing 9% in the previous two sessions, as supply side challenges reemerged, with the EU working on gaining support to ban Russian oil while major producers warned they may not be able to meet demand without further investment.

Highlighting supply concerns further, UAE energy minister Suhail al-Mazrouei warned on Tuesday that when fuel demand recovers from the coronavirus pandemic, the OPEC+ may not be able to meet demand without further investment.
