Oil has climbed: Fuel price hike is approaching

THE PRESIDENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY: “RUSSIA WILL BE DIFFICULT TO CONTINUE PRODUCTION”

In his speech at the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium on Friday last week, US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell renewed his commitment to fight inflation and signaled that a return to loose monetary policy would not be imminent.

Despite the increasing recession concerns on the European side, with the statements made within the scope of Jackson Hole, the possibility of a 75 basis point increase in interest rates by the European Central Bank at the September meeting was discussed.

On the other hand, Fatih Birol, President of the International Energy Agency (IEA), said in a statement yesterday that Russia’s oil production was above expectations despite the war in Ukraine, but that it would have difficulties in maintaining production as the sanctions began to take effect.

Birol also pointed out that if IEA member countries deem necessary, they can offer more oil from their strategic oil reserves to the market.
