Wednesday, July 31, 2013

 

Crude oil futures contract today with the observed steady trend in rising amid investors' anticipation of the results of the U.S. central bank meeting. In addition, the release of data on the gross domestic product of this country also has the potential to affect the price of maneuver.

 

The current oil price is $ 103.17 per barrel, up about 10 cents compared to the previous day's closing price, $ 103.16. Yesterday oil lost as much as 1.4% on the Nymex on concerns about the outlook for energy demand in the future.

 

Investors await whether the U.S. central bank to keep its policy meeting today. Throughout the year 2013, the movement of crude oil is very dependent on climate easing Federal Reserve stimulus is applied, so any indication of removing a threat to price. Commodity price movements of crude oil is not too spectacular this year, 'only' up to 6% do not since the month of January. But it should be noted that the outlook for oil prices is even more brightly than any asset in the future. There are several reasons why oil will rise again or at least maintain their current position above 100 U.S. dollars per barrel. Political tensions in various areas of production has intensified in recent months. After Iraq and Libya, the leadership transition also occurs in Egypt, which is an important path of world oil distribution. Compounded by the completion of 'cold war' between Iran and the west block. When combined with poor prospects of supplies from Africa, such as Nigeria and Sudan, it is fundamental support for the complete product of crude oil. Whereas on the other hand, the level of demand is believed to continue to increase this year as many countries restructure growth-based economic policies. The improved performance of the company will have an impact on the volume of oil demand surge in the future. Yet once again for the short and medium term, the issue of stimulus and performance in advanced economies such as China and the United menjado main driver.
