Oil prices rose on Monday after Joe Biden came away from his talks in the middle-east without ensuring an increase in oil supply. Brent crude rose 2.6% to $103.88 per barrel on Monday. The OPEC+ cartel has seemingly kept a tight supply even as countries rush to fill the gap left in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine war.
Jeffrey Halley, a senior market analyst at OANDA, believes that the oil supply-demand imbalance remains as tight as ever, and prices would not go lower if OPEC+ does not raise its output.
