In the New York crude oil market, the WTI futures price, which is an international indicator, continues to rise, and on the 17th, it temporarily exceeded $ 83 a barrel and hit a new high for the first time in about seven years.
The main reason for the rise in crude oil prices is that while demand is increasing due to the resumption of economic activities in Europe and the United States, the production volume that decreased due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection has not recovered.
Market officials said, "The price of natural gas has soared before winter, and the awareness of increasing demand for crude oil as an alternative fuel has also led to the rise in prices. Many investors place orders. "
