Crude Oil Trend
Crude oil Apr futures on NYMEX rose by 0.62% to $97.88/barrel from $97.28/barrel amid unrest spreading to Oman, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia. Even though on Friday NYMEX boosted the margin requirement on oil futures for the first time since March 2009 as crude traded above $100 a barrel to $6,075 per contract from $5,063 failed to pressurize the crude oil prices. The latest change on ICE also showed a boost in the Brent margin to $5,200 from $4,850 per contract along with the news in the market that Saudi Arabia has boosted the oil supplies by 9 million barrels per day were kept aside. What weighed on the bearish news were the unrest which continued in Libya and Bahrain along with the unrest which started yesterday in Saudi Arabia, OPEC’s largest oil producer.
