Oil price exceeded $ 86

The December Brent oil futures on the London Exchange exceeded $ 86 per barrel, RBC reports with reference to trading data on the ICE exchange. The last time the threshold of $ 86 per barrel Brent overcame on November 3, 2014.

Analysts associate an increase in oil prices with the prospect of introducing US sanctions against Iran’s energy sector.

Earlier, the head of the analytical department of the National Energy Security Fund, Alexander Pasechnik, in a conversation with The Insider, suggested that oil will make a mark of $ 100 this year.

“Nothing interferes. This month you will see $ 90 dollars per barrel, $ 100 - until the end of the year. This speculative attack will be continued against the backdrop of the expectations of anti -Iranian sanctions. The speculators are now waiting for the line of $ 100, this is a psychological mark, but it will not last long, after which deep correction is possible, ”the beekeeper said.
