Elsewhere, crude oil prices also saw a rise during September 2019 compared with August last year for the major crude oil benchmarks around the world.
Crude oil prices for last month seem to have been affected by several factors, most notable being the fall in US crude oil inventories. The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies’ decision to extend crude production cuts to oil prices and the Saudi oil field attacks, which cut the kingdom’s output by nearly half, also seem to have contributed to the rise in prices for this month.
A recently released report by OPEC predicts a drop in demand for OPEC crude next year with predictions for crude to average 29.6mn bpd, a drop of 1.2mn bpd from 2019.
