26.09.2022 11:30
Global oil prices on September 26 morning fell on fears of a possible recession and demand prospects, the price of Brent oil was below $85 for the first time since January 14, reported from the auction data.
The price of December futures for Brent crude fell by 0.53% to $84.58 per barrel, November futures for WTI - by 0.48% to $78.36.
Market fears about a possible recession intensified after a number of major central banks last week continued to raise key rates against the backdrop of high inflation. The US Federal Reserve System (FRS) also raised the rate, and experts believe that the regulator will raise the rate again in November.
Against this background, the dollar exchange rate also strengthened. Thus, the dollar index (the exchange rate against a basket of currencies of six countries - US trading partners) is trading at 114 points - for the first time since May 2002. A more expensive dollar makes commodities, including oil, less available to buy in another currency.
