A very important zone is at the $ 8.68 level, and if a break occurs above, then the price could jeopardise the $ 9.00 level.

Market overview

The International Monetary Fund released a report Sunday on the impact of rising oil prices on global inflation and prospects for further growth. The key statement is: “For some, the current rising oil prices can be compared to the 1970s, when geopolitical tensions also caused a jump in fossil fuel prices.”

“Central banks have also changed since the 1970s. Today, there are more independents, and the credibility of monetary policy has greatly strengthened over previous decades.”

“Expectations are that global growth will be close to the average before the pandemic of 3.5%. Even after the April events in the world were affected, the forecasts for the world economy were lowered, and inflation could be higher than expected.

“The negative impact could be most pronounced in Europe, given their relatively big reliance on Russian energy imports.
