Oil futures prices volatile as market unsure if supplies are long or not.

摘要

Oil futures prices fell early in the week to July 18, maintaining the downward spiral that began three weeks earlier, as recent supply disruption fears concerning the insurgency in Iraq continued to fade away and Libyan output began to ramp up. Renewed supply disruption concerns crept back into the market later in the week, helping secure weekly increases for US West Texas Intermediate (WIT) and UK Brent for the first time in a month.
