Oil closes in on $95 per barrel, keeping gas prices near summer highs
- The price of oil surged on Monday, with Brent crude nearing $95 per barrel and some crude grades surpassing $100, due to tight supply and increasing demand resulting from production cut extensions by Saudi Arabia and Russia.
- Analysts predict that Brent may rise above $100 per barrel, citing Saudi Arabia and Russia's control of the oil market and the potential for noise to push prices higher. Swiss bank UBS sees Brent futures reaching triple digits, while Standard Chartered analysts don't rule out a rise above $100 in Q4.
- However, concerns about unsustainable prices and supply build-up dampen the outlook for oil prices. CitiGroup warns that $90 prices are unsustainable and expects a withdrawal from the oil rally, given the expected increase in non-OPEC supply by 1.8 million barrels per day this year.
