Volatile Crude Market After Keystone Outage

OIL

Oil swings with a leak and outage of the Keystone pipeline adding to the high market volatility.

  • WTI is back down on the day after surging up to 75.3$/bbl after news of the pipeline leak.
  • Weak oil demand is weighing on crude markets with the upside risk from Russian supply disruption and the potential for a recovery in Chinese oil demand.
  • Crude tanker flows are still disrupted by a blockage at a key route through the Bosphorus Strait as the Turkish government checks insurance papers from passing vessels following the Russian oil price cap.
