Rob Barnett, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Energy and Commodities Analyst, joined Bloomberg’s Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu to discuss the latest in oil.
Oil fell below $100, heading for its longest run of declines since June, as robust flows through the Strait of Hormuz and diplomacy around the US-Iran war tamed a recent rally.
Brent, the global benchmark, fell as much as 4.2% while West Texas Intermediate futures were down over 5% to trade near $95 a barrel. Satellite data showed that Saudi Arabia’s observed oil loadings from inside the Persian Gulf jumped over the weekend, with the highest number of ships seen at the nation’s main Persian Gulf port since June. It’s a sign the kingdom has pivoted back toward Hormuz after the shutdown of a key cross-country pipeline to the Red Sea earlier this month following drone attacks.
