The August futures for WTI crude went up by 5.38% to $ 56.65 a barrel.
Futures for Brent crude for August delivery fell 0.11% to $ 64.38 a barrel.
In March, Alexander Frolov, deputy director general of the National Energy Institute, said in an interview with FAN that if oil prices do not rise above $ 70 a barrel in the coming years, this could provoke a shortage of hydrocarbons in the market and, as a result, an astronomical increase in this resource.
