Fresh covid fears and the rising downturn in the global economic forecast impacted crude oil prices on Tuesday morning, prompting Brent crude futures to increase $1.05 to trade at $103.50 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures rose $0.89 to $99.43 per barrel. In the days ahead, a huge reduction in US crude oil inventories and concerns about supply shortages from Libya, as well as the possibility that Western countries may enforce tougher sanctions on Russian oil, will have a further impact on international oil prices.

On Monday, the brokerage firm Motilal Oswal said in a report that "Most forecasting agencies currently predict that global GDP will grow by around 3.5% in 2022, compared to the previous year. Inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, the Ukraine conflict, and high COVID19 cases, particularly in China, are currently weighing on the overall oil demand scenario." The brokerage has further claimed that "While Russian oil producers struggle to sell their barrels, the release of strategic oil reserves is helping to alleviate supply concerns. As a result of concerns about decreased oil demand, OPEC has continued its policy of progressively raising supply. Worsening crisis in Ukraine could raise pressure on the EU to sanction Russian oil and prices could move higher later this year."
