WTI Crude Oil Fall To 12 % And Traded To $110

WTI crude Oil : traded around $110 per barrel on Thursday after falling 12% in the previous session for its biggest drop since November, as the UAE called on OPEC+ to boost production faster to ease turmoil in the energy markets.

Oil prices were also pressured as investors looked optimistically toward a possible de-escalation of the Russia-Ukraine war, with the foreign ministers from both countries set to meet in Turkey later today.

The market action came just days after crude prices closed at the highest level since 2008 on Monday.

The Russian invasion and ensuing sanctions exacerbated supply chain problems created by the pandemic and caused commodity prices across the board to soar.

Meanwhile, the heads of OPEC and Chevron said this week there is no shortage of oil, while Iraq insisted there is no need to ramp up production more than planned
