GU: Oil prices inch higher after slump
 
London: Oil prices rose slightly on Friday following sharp falls the previous day stoked by a slew of downbeat global economic data and easing concerns about the Ukraine crisis, analysts said.
US benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for delivery in September edged up five cents to $95.63 a barrel.
Brent North Sea crude for October rose 35 cents to $102.38 a barrel.
WTI had tumbled by two dollars on Thursday while the Brent contract for September delivery fell $2.27 ahead of its expiry to its lowest closing level since June 2013.
“The steeper-than-expected decline in oil prices is partly in reaction to soft economic data out of major global economies this week,” Desmond Chua, market analyst at CMC Markets in Singapore, told AFP.
The sharp falls in oil prices on Thursday coincided with the release of data showing growth in the 18-country Eurozone stalled in the second quarter.
Germany, the bloc’s largest economy, shrank by 0.2 per cent, and France, the second-largest, had zero growth for the second consecutive quarter.
Prices also came under pressure after the release of a string of disappointing Chinese data on Wednesday.
Chua said risk premiums associated with the armed insurgency in Ukraine, a key conduit for Russian energy exports to Europe, were continuing to unwind.
“With Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s conciliatory comments towards the West have been seen as an effort to diffuse tensions and downplay the likelihood of a full-blown conflict in Ukraine,” Chua said.
In a speech on Thursday, Putin said Russia would not “fence itself off from the outside world,” despite a plunge in East-West relations over the pro-Kremlin insurgency.
He said Moscow would not break ties with the United States and Europe but “should also not let them treat us with disdain”.
Russia is the world’s second-largest oil producer and there are concerns that tough Western sanctions against Moscow for its seizure of Crimea in March and support for separatists in east Ukraine could affect its gas exports to Europe.
