Crude oil’s robust recovery

A significant rise in crude oil prices has been witnessed as the oil companies in the US struggled to fully restore deliveries to the eastern seaboard after two deadly storms damaged oil facilities in the US Gulf Coast.

As per the Energy Information Administration (EIA) data, crude oil inventories tumbled to the lowest level in almost three years after a rapid rise in the drawdown followed by damages from two hurricanes.

Oil supply constraints

The prices were also buoyed due to the supply deficit of OPEC+ countries on under-investment and delay in maintenance work due to the pandemic-led restrictions. The members of OPEC+ curbed production in the last two years to remove the market glut during pandemics. However, the companies are now struggling to ramp up their output to meet the skyrocketing energy demands.

One of the leading market analysts, Goldman Sachs has raised its 2021 ending forecast for Brent crude by US$10 to land at US$90 per barrel. Global supplies have tightened due to soaring energy demands with ease in global lockdowns.
