OIL
Fire crews are reported to still be responding to wildfires burning near Canada’s oil sand hub of Fort McMurray.
- Rainfall and cooler temperatures in the past couple of days have aided firefighters in reducing fire activity but the wildfire remains out of control.
- Rystad Energy said in a research note that oil companies including Suncor, Canadian Natural Resources and Syncrude have not yet indicated any impact to their operations near Fort McMurray this week.
- Evacuated residents from Fort McMurray this week may return to the city early next week.
