Libya, Supply and Oil Prices
As recently as 2009, Libya exported 1.5 million barrels a day, ranking it 12th in the world for crude oil exports. Libya’s output dropped to 100,000 barrels a day last month, which is less than 10 percent of the 1.59 million barrels the nation pumped in January.
Libya is a major oil exporter and has seen oil exports crushed since the popular uprisings that swept the Arab world early this year reached the North African nation.
“The immediate reaction should be that you’ll see more crude come onto the market.” said Jonathan Barratt, a managing director of Commodity Broking Services, Sydney.
“If the Gadhafi’s regime falls, Brent crude oil futures will come under downward pressure, as the Libyan oil disruption will be resolved.” said Singapore based Victor Shum, a Senior Partner at Purvin & Gertz. For the latest updates PRESS CTR + D or visit Stock Market news Today
