The price of the benchmark Brent crude fell to $96.91 per barrel, whilst US WTI dropped to $89.85. Over the previous week, Brent had lost around 16 per cent of its value. The markets reacted to US President Donald Trump\u2019s statement that further strikes against Iran were unlikely and that a diplomatic resolution to the conflict was on the horizon, although attacks on ships near the Strait of Hormuz continue to pose risks to global energy supplies.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\"><strong>Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On 9 November, the price of Brent crude fell to $96.91 per barrel.<\/li>\n<li>Over the past week, Brent has lost around 16 per cent of its value.<\/li>\n<li>The fall was the sharpest in a week since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/li>\n<li>Trump said there was little likelihood of further US strikes on Iran.<\/li>\n<li>Attacks on tankers near the Strait of Hormuz continue to pose risks to the oil market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\"><\/div>\n<h2>Brent crude oil has suffered its biggest weekly fall since 2020<\/h2>\n<p>During morning trading on 9 November, futures on <strong>Brent<\/strong> fell by 1.5 per cent to $96.91 per barrel. US West Texas Intermediate crude lost 1 per cent and was trading at $89.85.<\/p>\n<p>Last week was the worst in over six years for the oil market. Brent fell by around 16 per cent, marking its sharpest weekly decline since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The sharp fall in prices began following the US mid-term elections, in which the Republicans suffered a defeat. Investors began to reassess their expectations regarding Washington\u2019s future military policy in the Middle East and the prospects for a full resumption of oil exports from the region.<\/p>\n<h2>Trump\u2019s statement has heightened expectations that the conflict with Iran will come to an end<\/h2>\n<p>Another factor contributing to the fall was the statement <strong>Donald Trump<\/strong>, who, in an interview with CNN, suggested that the new American <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/world\/ssha-udar-sudno-iran-omanska-zatoka\/\">strikes on Iran<\/a> may not be necessary if the negotiations lead to an agreement acceptable to Washington.<\/p>\n<p>The US President had previously not ruled out the resumption of large-scale military operations following the congressional elections. His latest statement has allayed investors\u2019 fears of an immediate escalation.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, there is no final agreement between Washington and Tehran. Analysts point out that the market is already pricing in the possibility of de-escalation, although the situation remains unstable.<\/p>\n<h2>The Strait of Hormuz remains the main risk to supplies<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the fall in oil prices, near <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/world\/iran-umovy-vidkryttia-ormuzkoi-protoky\/\">Strait of Hormuz<\/a> Attacks on merchant ships are continuing. This maritime route is of critical importance for the export of oil and petroleum products from the Gulf states.<\/p>\n<p>Further incidents involving shipping could once again heighten fears of supply disruptions. That is why the prospects for the resumption of safe tanker traffic remain one of the key factors being monitored by energy traders.<\/p>\n<p>According to JPMorgan\u2019s estimates, global oil supply already exceeded demand by 1.1 million barrels per day in September and by 1.4 million in October. If supplies from the Middle East resume, the surplus of crude could put further pressure on prices.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0421\u0432\u0456\u0442\u043e\u0432\u0456 \u0446\u0456\u043d\u0438 \u043d\u0430 \u043d\u0430\u0444\u0442\u0443 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0434\u043e\u0432\u0436\u0438\u043b\u0438 \u043f\u0430\u0434\u0456\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0432 \u043f\u043e\u043d\u0435\u0434\u0456\u043b\u043e\u043a, 9 \u043b\u0438\u0441\u0442\u043e\u043f\u0430\u0434\u0430, \u043f\u0456\u0441\u043b\u044f \u043d\u0430\u0439\u0431\u0456\u043b\u044c\u0448\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0442\u0438\u0436\u043d\u0435\u0432\u043e\u0433\u043e \u043e\u0431\u0432\u0430\u043b\u0443 \u0437 \u043f\u043e\u0447\u0430\u0442\u043a\u0443 \u043f\u0430\u043d\u0434\u0435\u043c\u0456\u0457 COVID-19. \u0412\u0430\u0440\u0442\u0456\u0441\u0442\u044c \u0435\u0442\u0430\u043b\u043e\u043d\u043d\u043e\u0457 \u043c\u0430\u0440\u043a\u0438 Brent \u0437\u043d\u0438\u0437\u0438\u043b\u0430\u0441\u044f \u0434\u043e 96,91 \u0434\u043e\u043b\u0430\u0440\u0430 \u0437\u0430 \u0431\u0430\u0440\u0435\u043b\u044c, \u0430 \u0430\u043c\u0435\u0440\u0438\u043a\u0430\u043d\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0430 WTI \u043f\u043e\u0434\u0435\u0448\u0435\u0432\u0448\u0430\u043b\u0430 \u0434\u043e 89,85 \u0434\u043e\u043b\u0430\u0440\u0430. \u0417\u0430 \u043f\u043e\u043f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0434\u043d\u0456\u0439 \u0442\u0438\u0436\u0434\u0435\u043d\u044c Brent \u0432\u0442\u0440\u0430\u0442\u0438\u043b\u0430 \u0431\u043b\u0438\u0437\u044c\u043a\u043e 16% \u0432\u0430\u0440\u0442\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0456. \u0420\u0438\u043d\u043a\u0438 \u0432\u0456\u0434\u0440\u0435\u0430\u0433\u0443\u0432\u0430\u043b\u0438 \u043d\u0430 \u0437\u0430\u044f\u0432\u0443 \u043f\u0440\u0435\u0437\u0438\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0442\u0430 \u0421\u0428\u0410 \u0414\u043e\u043d\u0430\u043b\u044c\u0434\u0430 \u0422\u0440\u0430\u043c\u043f\u0430 \u043f\u0440\u043e \u043c\u0430\u043b\u043e\u0439\u043c\u043e\u0432\u0456\u0440\u043d\u0456\u0441\u0442\u044c \u043d\u043e\u0432\u0438\u0445 \u0443\u0434\u0430\u0440\u0456\u0432 [\u2026]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":207433346,"featured_media":36419,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_description":"\u0426\u0456\u043d\u0438 \u043d\u0430 \u043d\u0430\u0444\u0442\u0443 Brent 9 \u043b\u0438\u0441\u0442\u043e\u043f\u0430\u0434\u0430 \u0432\u043f\u0430\u043b\u0438 \u0434\u043e $96,91. \u0417\u0430 \u0442\u0438\u0436\u0434\u0435\u043d\u044c \u043d\u0430\u0444\u0442\u0430 \u0432\u0442\u0440\u0430\u0442\u0438\u043b\u0430 16% \u2014 \u043d\u0430\u0439\u0431\u0456\u043b\u044c\u0448\u0435 \u0437 \u0447\u0430\u0441\u0456\u0432 \u043f\u0430\u043d\u0434\u0435\u043c\u0456\u0457. \u0427\u043e\u043c\u0443 \u0434\u0435\u0448\u0435\u0432\u0448\u0430\u0454 \u043d\u0430\u0444\u0442\u0430.","rank_math_title":"\u0426\u0456\u043d\u0438 \u043d\u0430 \u043d\u0430\u0444\u0442\u0443 \u043e\u0431\u0432\u0430\u043b\u0438\u043b\u0438\u0441\u044f: Brent \u0432\u043f\u0430\u043b\u0430 \u043d\u0438\u0436\u0447\u0435 $97","rank_math_focus_keyword":"\u0426\u0456\u043d\u0438 \u043d\u0430 \u043d\u0430\u0444\u0442\u0443","td_subtitle":"","subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[805618],"tags":[806753],"class_list":["post-36418","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economics","tag-806753"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36418","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/207433346"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36418"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36418\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36420,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36418\/revisions\/36420"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36419"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36418"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36418"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
