–

Neutral summary

On Friday, October 16, Brent crude oil exceeded $110 a barrel for the first time since May, driven by fears of constrained global supply. December Brent futures closed up 3.72% at $109.86 a barrel on the ICE, while November WTI rose 3.51% to $101.41 a barrel on the Nymex. CNN Brasil reported December WTI up 2.61% at $99.02, while G1 reported WTI at $101.41, its highest level since September 17. For the week, Brent gained 4.9% and WTI rose 10.4%. The price increase is attributed to tensions in the Middle East and uncertainty over Russia's ability to supply diesel to world markets. US lawmakers introduced a bill on Friday to block the White House's agreement with Moscow, citing concerns that it would allow Russia to fund its war against Ukraine. Against this backdrop, European stock indices closed higher: the FTSE 100 rose 0.38%, the DAX gained 0.94%, the CAC 40 added 0.28%, the FTSE MIB advanced 0.93%, the Ibex 35 rose 0.95%, and the PSI 20 closed up 1.01%.
