Oil overcame the mark of $ 30 per barrel

Oil prices for the first time in 15 months exceeded a psychologically important mark of $ 30. According to Reuters , according to the results of trading on Tuesday on the American Nymex exchange, the oil barrel with a supply in September cost $ 30.11, which reflected the fears of investors about the possibility of an armed conflict between the United States and Iraq and the interruptions of oil supplies from the Middle East.

However, after the closing of trading in the electronic system, oil began to become cheaper. According to Interfax, the price of the October futures contracts in the electronic system of the New York commodity exchange (NYMEX) on Wednesday in the morning fell 1.2% to the level of $ 28.42 per barrel

The reason for this was the last report of the American Institute of Oil, which indicates an increase in hydrocarbon reserves in the country last week.

The price of October contracts for Brent oil on Nymex on Tuesday decreased by 18 cents, to $ 27.10 per barrel. At the IPE International Oil Exchange in London, the price of futures for October on Brent on August 20 fell by 16 cents, until the same $ 27.10.

The price of Russian oil Urals amounted to $ 26.78 per barrel.

Meanwhile, oil has been getting more about a week and a half, and OPEC is not going to make concessions to the importing countries, carefully reacting to the US calls to urgently increase the export of raw materials. Oil importers have already expressed concerns that an increase in the price of more than $ 30 per barrel can jeopardize the healing of the global economy.
