🛢 WTI oil is being quoted near $89 per barrel, losing more than 5% since the beginning of the week.

📊The quotes were pressured by data on changes in US oil inventories: according to a report by the Energy Information Administration of the US Department of Energy (EIA), oil inventories increased by 4.4 million barrels last week, which clearly indicates a decrease in demand in the US market.

☝️In addition, market participants fear for the prospects for global economic growth against the backdrop of ongoing tensions in Eastern Europe, the deterioration of US-China relations and new anti-COVID restrictions in the Asia-Pacific region.🧐

📉Considering the above, there is a risk of a decrease in the cost of WTI to the region of $85.

🛢Brent crude has been making new lows since August 22 and is quoted at $94.

☝️ Pressure on the hydrocarbon market is exerted by concerns about global economic growth, which may lead to a reduction in demand for fuel. The main driver of market sentiment deterioration was weak Chinese statistics. In particular, China's Manufacturing PMI fell to 49.4 in August, indicating a downturn in manufacturing in the world's second-largest economy.

😱 In addition, investors are alarmed by the introduction of new quarantine restrictions in the Shenzhen province, where a number of large industries are concentrated, which could also negatively affect oil demand.

📉Analysts recommend shorting Brent with a target of $90 per barrel.

🛢Нефть марки Brent обновляет минимумы с 22 августа и котируется на уровне $94.

☝️Давление на рынок углеводородов оказывают опасения относительно мирового экономического роста, что может привести к сокращению спроса на топливо. Основным драйвером ухудшения рыночных настроений выступила слабая китайская статистика. В частности, индекс деловой активности производственного сектора Китая в августе снизился до 49,4, указывая на спад в промышленности во второй по величине экономике мира.

😱Кроме того, инвесторов настораживает введение новых карантинных ограничений в провинции Шэньчжэнь, где сосредоточен ряд крупных производств, что также может негативно повлиять на спрос на нефть.

📉Аналитики рекомендуют шортить Brent с целью $90 за баррель.
