“Omikron” struck and oil market: black gold records

Brent oil during the trading on November 30 fell by almost 2%, dropped below $ 71 per barrel for the first time from September 1.

As of the morning Tuesday, January Brent futures on the ICE stock exchange cost $ 70.91 (-2.48%). The price of WTI oil decreased to $ 67.9 (-0.33%).

Brent oil has a few weeks in a row. Such a long-term fall in value is observed for the first time since March 2020. Quotes fall due to a new coronavirus strain. If the “ohomikron” turns out to be dangerous, the world is threatened with even more stringent restrictions, which means that energy demand will inevitably decrease.
